Great little store

Current owner took over in 2010 and added books to the toys. Good selection of quality books, discount area in the back with seconds. Fun typical Toysmith-type toy shop. Owner was really laid back and I enjoyed chatting with him.

We stopped here thinking it would be a great bookstore for everyone. It really caters to children and young adult readers. They do have a small collection of used books for all ages/genres, but not what we were looking for on this trip. If we...More

Wonderful place to spend time!

This is one of our favorite places to take our son and just hang out. The folks that run the place clearly value customers. The selection of books and toys is thoughtful and the atmosphere inviting. Highly recommend!

Sweet Little Shop

A small book and toy store with a wide variety of books from young adult novels to books for children still learning to read. The stuffed animals are adorable.

Spent a bit browsing and enjoying the unique gifts in the back area. Great spot for Grandpa and Grandma to spoil the little ones. Great youth reading selection.
