An interesting assortment : fiction and nonfiction , local and national /international. We bought Tim O’Neil’s 2019 book Chaos on Manson and the CIA … as well as a 2nd hand biography of Gurdjieff. Nice and homey sitting area and friendly staff; I will go back someday!

I come here all the time with my boyfriend and we always look forward to our next visit. Everyone who volunteers there is so kind and makes you feel so welcome, and always gives you a good chat about what’s in right now. Such a nice place to getaway for a few minutes!
