Firefly Bookstore — Local services in Kutztown

Firefly Bookstore is and will always be my favorite bookstore.

Ever since I was a little girl my Grandparents would always take us there every time we saw them to get a good book to read. It has evolved into a family tradition, from when the store first opened in 2012 to now—2023–its 11th year. Over the years it has just meant so much to me and I always have the best experience whenever I go there.

The book selection in Firefly Bookstore has many genres, such as Young Adult, Children, Sci Fi, Horror, Suspense, Nonfiction, Romance, and so much more. They have something for everyone; I can tell you that. They also have a wide variety of board games and other similar things that non-readers will still enjoy.

The environment created and the people there has a charming atmosphere. They have a wonderful reading area with comfortable chairs and beanbags near the kids area. The people there are also so welcoming and helpful. They will gladly help you find a book if need be.

They also host many different events there. Author meets happen every once and a while in Firefly. I have only been to one, but it amazed the younger version of myself to meet a pretty successful author. There is another club that kids host there sometimes, known as the “Forbidden Books Club '' where Firefly provides books to kids that parents have had banned from public libraries and schools because they aren’t necessarily traditional. These topics mostly consist of one's about the LGBTQ+ community or climate change. It’s their way of spreading awareness and reading books, all at the same time.

Overall Firefly Bookstore is definitely my favorite place to be, and I will never stop recommending it. Whomever goes there, I guarantee, you will not be...

This is a really cute little game and book store with hardcore geek and library witch vibes. Things can be a little hard to find in the stacks, as they sell both new and used and clearly have a small staff maintaining and organizing it, but with patience and tenacity, they have things all over that book lovers and seekers would want. Extensive children's section, new releases marked and displayed right up front, lots of D&D and other TTRPG sets along with card and party games for geeks of all ages, and even a section dedicated to local authors and creators. Staff is super friendly and helpful, and prices are in line with other big-box stores.

If you're looking for books or games, stop here first before going to large retailers. This is part of a dying breed of independent booksellers. Support them, please. The world will be a duller place if stores like...

Firefly Bookstore is THE BEST! As a future educator, I am building up my classroom library. Firefly books has not only new books, but also used books! Lots of which you wouldn’t see at a used book sale or the local thrift store. They have great variety, an incredible staff, and affordable prices. If you are a teacher (or even if you aren’t), you need to go here! The staff and the owner went above and beyond for my colleague and I yesterday! They were able to help up find things, informed us about all that they do for teachers, and even gave us some copies of Two Degrees by Alan Gratz, who was visiting that day. They also ran a great event that not only highlighted Gratz and his books, but also their Teen Banned Book Club they have at Firefly! This bookclub is amazing! Overall, you MUST visit Firefly Bookstore. They go above and beyond...
