Local Bookstores

Buy from our favorite bookstores!

If you are planning on purchasing books for our library, we highly encourage you checking out the following local, independent book shops! 

While we will always accept drop-shipped books from any retailer, supporting small businesses helps to make books remain accessible in our communities. The next time you think about buying from Amazon, read this article, and then buy from the folks below instead! Most of them will even be able to ship right to our door, or hold books for us to pick up.
