    There is a children's section.

    What a jumble of books. Books piled on the floor. Books stacked on chairs. Books on shelves. Books resting on tables and counters. Books everywhere. Even outdoors, on the sidewalk where tables and chairs have been placed for your reading pleasure. There are sections of the large bookstore where you can look for certain genres, but you are really on a treasure hunt in this bookstore. You cannot be in a hurry here. There is a constant line of customers bringing in their used books. Getting chits to use for their next purchase. People come in and out for coffee and various pastries. There are those, like myself, who have no store credit, but just hand over cash for the books they wish to purchase. It's all good. No one is in a hurry. No one feels overlooked. There are plenty of books for everyone.

    This place was excellent!!! My partner and I stopped there on our way out of town. Not only were the staff so so so so sweet but the drinks were delicious and fair priced as were the books and they had so many!!! Also the plants in there were so gorgeous. Definitely will be coming by again and recommend 100% to anyone driving through roseburg

    This place is decent, it serves its purpose but I was disappointed by the not so extensive selection.

    Next time, I plan on returning with some of my old books to trade in for some store credit.
