Even as we move out of the busy holiday shopping season, and slow down a bit, we are, as a matter of survival, still operated by a single staff member.  If you try calling during the hours above, but no one answers, we're simply working with someone who's in the store or on the other line.  Please wait ten minutes and try again.  We strive to give experienced and personal attention to everyone who visits us.
 
Thank you, so much, for your ongoing support and patience!

WE'LL ANNOUNCE WHEN OUR RECREATIONAL SPACES ARE OPEN AGAIN - THANKS!

Looking for a quiet, comfortable meeting space for your book club?  There might be distractions at home, but there aren't any in this room!  Let us do the work so you can enjoy your time together.  Order and purchase your selections through our store and use our Reading Room, with our compliments!  We'll keep things organized so your members can pick up the following month's books at the current month's meeting, and save you a special trip to pick it up later in the month!

Looking for an inexpensive night out of the house?  Meet a couple friends at The Printed Garden for a friendly (or not-so-friendly) board game, and enjoy one of our complimentary hot beverages.  We also have chess, checkers, Monopoly, Jenga, and a couple decks of cards - or feel free to pack your own game in if you'd like!  If you've come by yourself to study, just let us know and we'll turn the music down or off
