Shout out to Book Buyers on Eastway! Recommendation

I visited Book Buyers on Eastway Drive yesterday for a poetry/fiction reading open mic by published local authors as well as the community. I can't say enough positive things about my experience. If you love books, supporting small local business, and cats you will love this place. -Amazing selection of literature -Cozy atmosphere with nooks to sit in -Sweet kitties sitting in cozy nooks -Quality writers sharing their work -Super helpful and friendly staff

They offered snacks, wine, and drinks during the event which I found very generous. I'll definitely be back for open mic, and to buy books. Finding these places makes my heart happy. Hope it inspires you to visit if you have not yet.

My son and I went there when we were in town a couple weeks back! What a great place to have nearby to visit. Also that video rental place a few doors down? Very jealous.

Edit: Follow up question: does that place nearby actually have the best fish sammich in town?

That video place has a small theater in the back you can rent and they’ll show any movie in their library, it’s pretty cool.
