I didn't get to shop because I chose to leave. My son & I went to this bookstore and upon entering we weren't greeted because the lady behind the counter was on her cell phone but she did stop to tell us to use a public bottle of hand sanitizer. I asked if everyone who walks in uses the bottle she said yes & I stated I was a cancer patient with a compromised immune system & I didn't want to touch the public bottle & she said in order for us to enter the bookstore we had to use it. I initially was going to use mine out of my purse but instead decided to leave & take him to Barnes & Noble where my choice to shop for books is not taken away from me based on someone else's fatuous fears. I was really disappointed by the poor customer service & in the age of technology it's really inane to turn a teenager away from a bookstore for something as asinine as not using hand sanitizer especially since hand sanitizer does not protect you from viruses that will actually kill you. I will not be returning & will give a bad reference to anyone I speak to about...
Read moreThis little book store is filled with just about any book you could ever want or need. The team here is so super helpful! I have visited a few times now, but my most recent time was to find a specific type of book.The store had just gotten in a HUGE shipment of books so it was all hands on deck. I had help from one lady who practically walked me around the entire store and offered suggestions on specific classic books, as well as made some suggestions for my young reader (who at the time was more focused on his phone and Ramona, the sweet cat). A chair was cleared off so my son could sit and relax while I browsed the store. Ramona allowed my son to pet her while I worked with the team to find the perfect book to add to my collection.
I highly suggest this book store if you are looking for a team of people that ENJOY what they do and are GREAT at it! Love...
