"Lori P was so sweet, I loved our chat at the register when I was buying my new book. Also, I was so excited to find The Memory Theater by Tidbeck, been wanting this book for a while!! I also love the comic sections, they're really good."

"I had a great experience here shopping for a birthday gift for my mom. Two of the managers here helped me out, I told them what I was looking for and they came with many recommendations. There was also a nice children’s area to keep my little ones occupied while I looked around. The two managers were very knowledgeable about my request which helped me out a ton. Thank you ladies I had a wonderful experience. I went back one time afterwards because I wanted to support bookstores over Amazon, but they were sold out of what I was looking for."

"A nice store with a lot of selection. There are always some sale shelves and tables with a wide variety of books and they are organized nicely to make it easier to search for the subject you are interested in. There seems to be more and more toys, games and puzzle than there used to be. They have taken out almost all the seating so it is not nearly as inviting as it used to be. I used to like to buy something at the coffee shop and sit down and relax with the beverage and a book, but now that is not available. The prices are high but if you buy online they are cheaper."

"This place is beautiful, as all of their stores I have been. I love the books, the environment, the educators discount, but specifically I love when authors come to the library to sign books and talk. Recently I met a wonderful children's books illustrator and author Jan Brett in Barnes and Noble, thank you so much for that experience. Please B&N do more events like that one and support also local artists."
