The Book Bus Depot — Local services in Sharonville

Charming, welcoming, and uplifting! The depot has a nice selection of new and used books, including books that you can’t find elsewhere locally (they can also order books if you don’t find what you’re looking for). There are also puzzles, mugs, candles, totes, hats, and more. Looking to join a book club? You can choose from in-person, silent, online, and/or cookbook. And best of all, the shop is a non-profit so all of your purchases help put books in the hands of local schools and organizations for kids in need. The owner, Melanie, is wonderful and you can feel her passion for books throughout. I visit often and rarely leave...

I also got a mocha latte at the coffee shop attached, which was delicious. I also did the yoga class at 9am, which apparently they do for free e ery Saturday! It was wonderful, so rela ing and such a perfect way to...
