The selection in this community and social justice oriented bookshop is excellent! I love scifi/horror and walked out with three books.

Great bookstore and community space for events. They have a wide variety of books from fiction, history, memoirs, children section, stickers, and souvenirs. The place is warming and welcoming. The bookstore owner and family are always very helpful and friendly. They also have free non-perishable food to take, no questions...
