Our storefront is located at 13439 Detroit Ave. in Lakewood, Ohio directly across the street from St. Edward High School.

We are open Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 7 PM, and we are closed on Sundays.

There is metered street parking on both sides of Detroit right outside the shop! Parking at the meters is free after 6 PM and on weekends and holidays.

If you want to avoid parking on Detroit, there are a number of neighborhood side-streets within a block or two that have free street parking!

Please be respectful of the businesses around us and avoid using their parking lots.

Yes, we love dogs! We allow dogs in store as long as they're leashed or held.

Any items that are damaged by a dog must be purchased by the dog's owner.

We do not buy used books. Our store only sells new books purchased directly from our suppliers.

There are may Little Free Libraries around Lakewood where you can donate your well-loved books!
