Elleinad Books is a cozy children's bookstore that opened in early September 2022 to rave reviews! It is a place for both children and parents to enjoy the adventures found between the covers of books.
Francie & Finch has great customer service. Last yeaw, I emailed asking for two books for my daughters, they ordered them and wrapped them for me! All I had to do was pick them up. The cost difference between Amazon and Francie & Finch? A little over $1. Will Amazon miss the money from my purchase? No. But these purchases can mean the world to a small business.
A Novel Idea is an absolutely great pre-owned bookstore. They also have felines who hang out in the shop and store window and they are worth stopping to see!
