Barbara's Bookstore, located inside a hospital campus, offers a welcoming atmosphere with knowledgeable staff who are eager to help customers find the right books. The manager, Rebecca, is praised for her expertise in various genres, ensuring buyers leave with enjoyable reads. The friendly staff, including Lucas and Cory, provide exceptional service, with Cory going above and beyond to assist when a book was out of stock. Masks are required, but are available at the entrance. This charming bookstore is a perfect stop for anyone, especially those visiting Northwestern Hospital, and is known for its helpful and empathetic customer service.
It's a small bookstore that feels like a big bookstore, with both familiar older books and plenty of new things to discover. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I love this shop.
