Niche Books

Niche Books Our values are community and joy! Cozy indie bookstore located in downtown Lakeville. DMs are not a reliable way to get in touch.

Niche Books is a destination for readers in Lakeville, known for providing high quality titles in all genres, not exclusive to bestseller lists and big-name authors. If you need to contact us, use this form: https://nichebooksmn.com/contact/.

We're celebrating Anti-Prime Day here at Niche Books by being:
- Pro community
- Pro books
- Pro in-person connection
- Pro JOY

Do we do all this perfectly? No, of course not. But we are committed to being for Lakeville and readers... Which is more than we can say for a certain tech/retail/grocery/healthcare(?) behemoth.

In the spirit of Anti-Prime Day, we are offering 40% off all used books from June 23-26.

Our partners at Bookshop.org US are offering free shipping as well! So even if you can't make it in you can get deals (affiliate link in bio).

And Libro.fm Audiobooks is also having a sale! 35% off select audiobooks with code BIGIMPACT at checkout on the website (can't be used in-app).

Thank you to all our customers whose support, enthusiasm, and love make all that we do possible. We love you!

The best day of the year is coming. No, it's not Christmas, it's the day when the PawPADS service-dogs-in-training come in and listen to kids practice their reading! If a kid in your life would like to practice reading to a patient service dog, sign them up for a time slot next Saturday, 6/27! We've got a few slots left.
Even if you don't get a time slot, come at 10:30 during our regular story time to learn about service dogs and what PawPADS does for our community.
Link is on the Events page on our website!

Surprise! We're hiding ten audiobook credits around the store, and you can come find them from 12:30-7:00pm today (6/20).

The rules:
You can only get one credit, and while kids can help you search, they aren't eligible to win. The credits are all hidden between books, not inside them. There are no credits hidden in the kids section. You won't need to move furniture or merchandise in order to find the credits.

We've also got signed copies of A FOREST BEGINS ANEW from our event this morning with local author and teacher Louise Aamodt. Come pick one up if you missed the event!

These will be on our window til the sun fades them, so come by and read the sweet things then come in for a book!
