“I try to buy books locally whenever possible. In searching for a particular book I have visited many used book stores over the past month and at each store when they check and don't have the book I want, they refer me to several other local book stores. Singing Squirrel is no exception! All the stores have been pleasant. Truly a book buyer's Nirvana!”

“I was pretty flustered because of a misunderstanding regarding different editions of the same book. Staff took the time to explain everything to me and helped me find what I needed for a course. They are knowledgeable and professional, and I'm happy to continue getting my university books there.”

“Love the ambience and quiet, slow atmosphere being surrounded by all these historic books. It's really almost like time-travel. I'm a bit sad that they didn't have the hard-to-find books I've been searching for but I do like the friendliness of the staff and the overall feel of the place! Parking's also not unreasonably priced!”

“This is a great bookstore and gift shop, just make sure you confirm the hours before you head down. Candles, books, pendants, crucifixes, statutes - even some rosaries and scapulars. There's also a small kids section.Make sure you do what you can to support this store to support St. Pat's and ensure the bookstore can continue to operate in the future.”

“Store is organized and clean. Customer Service was helpful and quick. Only wish they had some options for help with paying for textbooks whether a payment plan, or discounts for eligible incomes”

“A neat store, great staff, only problem is everything is pricey. Even the books professors choose are pricey, this is while there are better textbooks and free resources. They could provide custom resources printed, but they aren't doing it. Probably because of the commissions, and honestly it's only runs up student's money. While AI is flourishing and are better at explaining things in a language level and fluidity one wants without any ill intentions, I don't really see the need of these pillow sized textbooks. Maybe professors can use them as resources to build custom-printed, copyright-free textbooks for a 10-12 week classes. While holding onto the insight that students are not just taking one course per semester, and by being a bit considerate about the course load a student generally takes during a semester. Accept innovation and integrate it into learning.”
