Only thing we would say is the address on Google should be updated to their new location on Albee Farm Rd. - it is a marvelous bookstore- very clean and organized!!

I shop at this Goodwill often but had a discouraging experience. Unfortunately at this location, honesty is not the best policy. I was looking at the video games, which I always check to see if the correct games and manuals are inside. In this situation inside a Wii Fit was an incorrect manual as well as the correct manual. Instead of lying, and sliding it into a different game, I brought the manual up to the register and asked if I could buy this manual as it is, since it was in the incorrect game case. The individual at the register was slightly rude asking me “is there was a price sticker?”, I said no and proceeded to explain the situation again. Then the individual abruptly and in a rude manner said “you better put that back where you found it.” This was incredibly unfortunate as I am a frequent customer of this store. This could have been resolved which would have resulted in a sale as well as maintain another item that is still available for purchase to another customer. This occurred on November 30th around 2pm. I really hope this doesn’t happen to other customers or myself in the future.

So glad my sis-in-law recommended this place to me, I’ve always hated getting books at Goodwill because A) they were outdated B) you couldn’t really find anything specific as they are usually disorganized. This place is awesome, I got a few books I wasn’t look for along with several I specific needed to get. They were easy to find, in great condition, the majority of books were up to date with a mix of vintage ones. I paid $46 for 14 books with the majority of books priced at $2.99. I looked up the exact books on Amazon and counted how much I would have paid for them there, nevermind retail stores like Barnes and Noble, and it came out to be just over $200. Insane. Such a great resource, I will be back again and again and I’m going to check out the other location too. The staff was super helpful and friendly, good vibes all around.

What a gem of a place. I went to buy children’s books for my newborn. I was able to get two basket fulls of books for $75. They had all the best seller selection. I also picked up a couple celebrity cookbooks as well. Highly recommended.

Great prices and well organized. The cashier was so friendly. I was on vacation and we don't have Goodwill Bookstores up North. Will definitely come back when I'm down again. It was all well priced, if I could take more home on a plane, I would have.10/10 time.

I'd give it a 5 but there is one person i believe her name is Nancy that has not been very nice to us. She decided to say she doesn't talk politics to someone at the register about rent prices then started talking about how much goodwill paid her and then mentioned politics, she didn't care for our opinion and hasn't been nice since then. I dont usually mention names but EVERYONE else is friendly in there. Not her. The last time we came in when she was there she looked up and never greeted us. All other staff makes it a habit to do so. Not her. The next person that walked in she greeted. I feel it's like a work environment, when you have one person who isn't nice to all then the store or environment kind of gets bad for all including your shoppers. I've done customer service for 30 years and pay should never be mentioned one but treating people poorly is not acceptable. I'm just sayin that no matter what, you should keep your attitude to yourself and not take it out on others especially shoppers. We all go through things but leave the mood home. Otherwise everyone else in there makes us feel welcomed everytime. So 5 star for the rest and the store for being kept organized and clean and friendly. Thank you to the rest of yall.

Only a bookstore / drop off center. Not an actual thrift store with any clothes. Save your time.

Nice selection of books! A few CDs, and just couple of records, though I'm sure that changes day to day.
