“I forgot about this little hidden gem in four corners. It's been some time since I've been here but it's exactly how I remembered it. They have a large selection of children's books and fiction. They're organized by author and they have some new books in their selection. You also have the option to order a newer book at a discount (if I remember correctly). They will also accept book donations so don't let those books go to waste! If you've never been, definitely try and check this out. I stocked up on my most recent visit with some good stuff!”

“I enjoy Barnes & Noble but I swear it is so difficult to find books in the children’s section at times because it doesn’t seem to follow much of a system for organization beyond a few categories.”

“This is so much more than a bookstore! Prairie Path really is a readers dream small store. They have a great selection of books but also beautiful cards, gifts and bookplates. Candles and stickers and fancy candies also. The cookbook selection is great but i loved that they had so many classics mixed in with new books. It is a place you should check out. They also will gift wrap your book for free”

“Anderson's is a community treasure - a place where you can quietly peruse the ever evolving selection of books, talk to the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff, and pick up greeting cards and gifts along the way. There's nowhere I'd rather spend an hour, especially on a crisp, rainy day.”

“I go to this store to sell my used books. They don’t really give you a lot for your books but for me I’d prefer to sell them to a bookstore vs. putting them in a book depository. The store and what it offers is nice.”

“Such a delightful little store. My son and I were out on a wander and decided to pop in, and I'm so glad we did! They have a fantastic selection of children's books from some of our favorite authors and illustrators. It was so refreshing to see such a well-curated collection. We especially appreciated the beautiful secular holiday and winter books during the visit!”

“Customer service was really great. Priced like a regular book store, not used. If you are looking to get affordable books, I would recommend going else where. Though, employee was very friendly which made up for my disappointment”

“When my son Joshua was receiving his first Holy Communion I needed to get a very special rosary beads for him and a prayer book . I ordered eveything over the phone with Sue and she was absolutely amazing and helped me pick the perfect items. In addition she also included in my order, completely free of charge, the most beautiful little wooden box/chest medal and rosary holder with a bible inscription from the book of Joshua. Everything arrived safely and was packaged beautifully. Sue will go above and beyond the call of duty to get the exact item one describes and if she does not have it in stock she will order it for you immediately. This is definitely the place to visit when you need that most unusual item. Quite frankly if I could give a 6 Star review I would do so with pleasure!!!”

“This is a good store to go to if you’re shopping for calendars. Make sure you go when they are heavily discounted. I went today and it was 75% off. We were able to get two calendars for $6.73. Besides calendars, they also have puzzles, board games, etc. I recommend checking them out. Just a FYI, they do open later than some of the other stores. On Sundays, they opened at noon. Service was good. It’s located close to the kiddie haircut place.”

“We have used this Party City for years, but had an especially good experience on Wednesday. I was picking up balloons for my son's birthday and one of the balloons was a little deflated. The 2 gentlemen working noticed the balloon (I had not) and immediately offered to refill it and also gave me a replacement balloon in case the one that I had purchased did not last. They were so kind and worked quickly to resolve a problem I had not noted myself. They were right though because the balloon did not last and the backup was perfect.”

“Convenient. Got books you need for class, stationary supplies, book bags, school swag, and candy. Everything slightly more expensive but when you need those gloves for lab it's worth it.Order ahead for stressless pickup.”
