Park Books & LitCoLab

"I wanna express my gratitude to the owners of this bookstore, which has had a significant impact on both my older son and younger toddler in manifold ways. The owners' commitment to serving the community goes far beyond selling books; rather, it extends to providing literary and cultural opportunities that cater to the diverse interests of everyone. When the pandemic hit, my older son's daily routine was uprooted, and he lost interest in reading. However, we found out about this bookstore shortly after stores could open back up and the bookstore's book club proved to be a valuable tool in revitalizing his love for reading while aiding in his gradual return to a sense of normalcy. Also, when my son experienced stress in school, the owner provided the appropriate books to support and reassure him. Likewise, my toddler loves the bookstore. Additionally, I am grateful for the plethora of events organized by the store that caters to young children. These events create an enchanting atmosphere, imbued with adventure and a love of reading. This bookstore is more than just an ordinary retail store; it is a hub for cultural exploration and intellectual discovery. The owners' dedication to their customers and community is evident in their thoughtfully curated inventory and diverse events. I highly recommend this bookstore to anyone looking to experience the magic of reading."

"Park Books is such a lovely bookstore with the cutest dog and the kindest owner and employees. The atmosphere is unbeatable, and they offer story and craft time for kids as well as author events. Just the bookstore that Severna Park needs!"

"There are not words enough to describe how wonderful this store and its staff are! This is the most inviting environment for all book lovers. The store itself is cozy and full of more than you'd expect, whether you're looking for books or book-related gifts, this is the right place. The delicious cherry on top is the exceptional staff who go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, right down to learning your name. It is a completely different shopping experience, and I'll be visiting them way more often. You should, too."

"One of the BEST local bookstores in the Annapolis area (Severna Park). Melody has THE BEST selection of books (I asked for poetry suggestions and she suggested Alan King and Temple Cone, both local poets!) AND she's been doing a great job promoting local authors! I went to Greg Melville's book launch of Over My Dead Body at Park Books and it was FANTASTIC! The book store has a book club, one of the widest varieties of all types of books and there's a free book stand outside RIGHT NOW! I took like ten freebies and bought like ten poetry books plus five copies of Over My Dead Body and got it signed by the author, all in the span of an hour. Thank you Melody for the many hours of happiness I will have reading all my new books!! OH! and I think she's expanding and her new place will do Spoken Word Poetry!! Photo is a picture of Greg Melville signing my book in Park Books! Park Books is an amazing venue for book signings and is an amazing bookstore filled with great books and great people! 10 out of 10, FULLY recommend!!"

"This place is fantastic! We didn't realize how much we missed brick and mortar book stores until we dropped in today. The selection is fantastic for the size of the store. Everybody working there is very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back!"
