About Gazebo Books
Gazebo Books is a small, old-fashioned, family-owned bookstore with a thoughtful and interesting assortment of books. The selection offers a great variety, including different perspectives, history, social justice-related books, local authors, and children's books that many have not seen elsewhere. The store has a distinct character, described as neat and cute, though it may smell like an old building. The business operates with specific rules: it is cash or check only, with no payment cards accepted, and it enforces a strict no cellphone and no pictures policy for customers. While some note the owner can come off strong, prickly, or initially reserved, many reviewers found her to be very nice, interesting, insightful, kind, pleasant, friendly, welcoming, and great to talk to once engaged. Conversations with her are frequently highlighted as a wonderful part of the experience, covering topics from books to local history. The overall advice is to respect the store policies for a pleasant visit. Many who did so report a great, unexpected, and enjoyable experience, thoroughly recommending the shop and planning to return. While the approach may not be for everyone, those who are chill and respectful often find a unique and rewarding small-town bookstore experience.

Unlike what a lot of people are saying, I thought the owner was a very nice and interesting lady. I enjoyed talking to her and you can tell she cares. I had no problem with the no phone, cash only rules and she wasn't rude at all the entire time I was in the store.

Neat old fashioned bookstore with interesting selection. Cash only, no phones allowed, and smells like old building but these things didn't really bother me. The owner comes off strong but is pleasant if you are chill.
