Boarding House Books is a charming bookstore located in an old boarding house, offering a delightful variety of new and used books. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, enhanced by the creaky old staircase that adds to its unique character. The store features a great selection of genres and authors, and if a title is not in stock, the helpful staff is happy to order it for customers. They can also pre-order upcoming releases. Visitors appreciate the personable and knowledgeable staff, who are eager to assist. Many find the bookstore to be a special place, perfect for those who prefer the feel of a physical book over digital formats. With its rich history and friendly vibe, Boarding House Books is considered a hidden gem and a must-visit destination in downtown.
Absoluely lovely book store. The staff were always lovely and they made it so easy to find books or order them if need be! It has such a cozy environment to it too

I always love shopping here. It’s got that old time cozy bookstore feeling and plenty of books to choose from. Decorated in the style of an old boarding house (including a claw foot tub) it’s the perfect place to go and spend an hour or two looking through shelf after shelf for that next perfect read.

HUGE selection, and genres have their own dedicated room so it's easy and fun to navigate. The view from the second floor is really nice too :)))
