Whether you have a summer reading list to tackle or want to pre-order a book being published later this year, we can order it for you! Just send us a message or come in store to let us know what book you’re looking for, and we can get it to you in 4-6 days* 😄📚

*So long as the book has already been published and that we can find it in our ordering system (which hasn’t been a problem yet!). Please note that, on rare occasions, some books wind up on back order and will take a little longer to get here. We will let you know if this is the case. A new book from a local bookstore is always worth the wait!
