Blue Vase Book Exchange

"Always an amazing experience. Kind staff, wide range of books to choose from. Convenient computer station to look up used books to see if they’re available. We will definitely be back"

"I always get way more than I need and spend way less than I expect. I'm a grad student and I've even been able to find some textbooks here. Staff is outstanding and kind. They're always happy to help."

"It's easily my favorite bookstore in town. There are so many books to choose from, and the store is always different when I walk in, probably because the books are so well priced that they turn over quickly. Also, I love exchanging the books I've already read for some store credit. It's not uncommon for me to leave with at least 8-12 new books."

"Blue Vase Book Exchange Library is a hidden gem with a charming ambiance. The unique decorations, especially the blue vases, create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The library's diverse selection of books caters to various tastes and interests, making it a delightful place for book enthusiasts. Whether you're drawn in by the decor or the extensive book collection, this spot offers a distinctive and enjoyable reading experience."

"Well, there goes the dream of designing one of the best used bookstores ever, because these folks already did it! This store is Brilliant! I've driven past a dozen times and this time I had 20 minutes extra to swing in, that wasn't nearly long enough... I've wandered the stacks of hundreds of used book stores and this is one of the very best I've ever seen! The store is spacious with lots of light to read by and more books than you can browse, even if you have hours to spare. The books are amazingly organized, cataloged and displayed, so it's really easy to find exactly what you are looking for. The store is clean, there are chairs to sit and read in and they have two computers setup so you can even search their many thousands of titles not on the display floor. They have a wall of audio books to dig through and a section for large print books as well. The employees were friendly and very knowledgeable, one even taking the time to walk me to two different areas that the book I was asking about could have been, it was in the second spot. They have a cool book trade-in program, read their website for specifics please, and even offer a book drop box outside the store, in case you just need to drop books and don't want to wait till they are open. If they would just put in a coffee station and a spot to buy a snack, I could spend the whole day here and never need to leave. I was able to find three 'hard to find' titles in only the 20 minutes I spent wandering the store, which means I'll make sure to have more time on my next visit! Bottom line, if you love searching through thousands of used books, looking for treasures to take home, go here and disappear into the stacks for hours of bliss. Just make sure you don't buy the books I'm looking for please..."
