Our local community is most fortunate to have this small hidden gem, perfect for buying books for all ages. George is very knowledgeable of the books he has available and what books he can order if they are not on hand. Hands down, the most personal and informative bookstore in the area. One of a kind.

I'd call this place organized chaos. It's cute and I enjoyed getting off the interstate to detour to Virden for a visit. I do recommend using Google maps because the store is easy to miss from the street.
