Shelf Life — Local services in Cuyahoga Falls

Shelf Life book store in downtown Cuyahoga Falls features a dry and witty tagline: "There are books here." For book lovers, that's all you need to know. However there are more than just books at Shelf Life. There is a principled mission to make books easily accessible to all those who want to read. This is why the cost for most of the books is just one dollar. It's a great deal for me as a book lover. But it is also a reassurance to me – and anybody who is concerned about literacy – that this organization is committed to keeping the written word alive and affordable. The shop is so well adorned and designed that one can spend plenty of time checking out all of the found objects -- old items discovered in vintage books, literary art, framed manifestos celebrating knowledge and the right to be informed, to name just a few.

For example, there was a section I believe categorized as black and queer literature and she actually had a sign promoting another bookstore, Elizabeth's Bookshop, which is Black women owned and amplifies queer and bipoc literature. I saw signs that supported the local Cuyahoga Falls Library as well. I had a really nice discussion with her while I was there and she is so kind and caring. I'm really looking forward to returning here in the future! Maybe with some...

How is it possible to have a book store in this bad of a location… actually pathetic EDIT: I am accused of being a local bookseller named Brandon Michael, that is not true. I rated your place fairly based on my experience and you have replied with 2 separate responses now. I never once critiqued your character or your shop. I doubt my 1 star review based on location is really tarnishing your business. I also want to comment trying to accuse MY review of being false is beyond inappropriate and even weirder that you reported me to google when I have years of reviews...
