This book shop may be small but it's mighty with several bookshelves, themed tablescapes, and carefully crafted book titles for a variety of readers. They have a small events calendar and a few spots for seating. Be mindful it may be a bit small for strollers or wheelchairs, but it is still cozy enough to browse the titles. There is plenty of parking and books to choose from depending on your flair for books. So come in for a great read books experience!

It has a great selection from children's books right up to current adult books. The staff was friendly and offered to help us find anything when we arrived but also left us alone to look which I always appreciate. There is a cafe attached which offers simple non fancy coffees. My daughter was absolutely fine with that since a simple black coffee is her way to go. We purchased a few books that have been on our TBR and will definitely be back soon!

They no longer have a display of banned books and when I was there the worst author in the history of authors was doing a reading (12/6/25).

It seems as though my previous review disappeared as I have frequented this store for over a…read moredecade. I recall my children being young, so definitely a long time. The business listing shows four years is the culprit. They are much older than this and somehow the old business listing was replaced. In my opinion this is the best of the chain in the 757. Why, because you also have the mall and it's not just a one off trip. The store is located on an end by Dicks Sporting Goods. So it's easy to park and go in. They offer the largest children's area of the chain on the Southside. It's well maintained, but now somewhat dated after a renovation probably ten years ago. Staff has been friendly over the years. The price in store is the same online and can save shipping and time. They also offer a very small coffee shop and sandwiches and bakery items. This is not a draw to the store, it's too small. I will continue to shop them.

It felt like it was definitely a recipient of plenty of donations, but those donations were the kind that make their way to used books stores -do simply to the fact that they aren't very interesting, sought after, or are just plan duds. I browsed the entire book selection and nothing stood out. I also looked in depth at their vinyl selections and found them in about the same state. The store is clean, organized, and the staff did seem friendly.

I asked 3 employees who were just standing behind the counter doing nothing about an author and to show me where it was located.. they pointed and kept chatting, didn't bother to leave the counter and help me.. the Norfolk location, literally starts pulling tons of different authors in the murder mystery genre, gets so excited to show you new authors and I walk out with like 5-7 new books, I walked out of the Chesapeake location with nothing bc they decided chatting about nothing instead of helping customers was more important..
