This is a cute little book shop right on the main drag in Meriden. I believe its the last of its kind in the area where you can actually sell your books (you wont get much). But its enough to buy your lunch if you have enough. There are a lot of different kinds of books in here. If you arent looking for perfect, looking for a place to check out, are bored and looking for something to do I would suggest checking this place out. You could probably be in here for a while reading and not buying anything. Im not exactly sure how the owner of this place keeps the door open as he told me that on a good day there might be 5 or 6 people stopping in and not all those folks are going to buy something. Im not sure how he pays the rent each month but while its still there its worth having a look before this place (the local book store) is just a bit of history to only be read about in an ebook somewhere.

First off: It does not close at 4:00. Im told by the staff that theyve tried to change that listing without success. Little Shop makes Decatur a better city. The selection is excellent, and the service is better than excellent. If they dont have a book on the shelves, theyll order it for you. Little Shop does the book fairs for local public schools, and they do a fantastic job. Theyre involved in many community-related programs. The store itself is inviting. Its bright and cheery, with lots of places to sit and read. There are even two clean bathrooms. Every town needs a store like this.

Excellent bookstore. Mostly filled with childrens books, it also has a small adult section with novels, poetry, and lifestyle books. If you are looking for an original gift, go here! The staff is also very helpful, and give good recommendation. I recently bought a coffee-table style cooking book and when I mentioned it was for a gift, they offered to order me a new one. The kids books are amazing, with original titles but also the top reads.

A charming independent bookstore that recently expanded, allowing it to offer an even wider selection of childrens books in a beautiful new childrens area. My toddler loves the Platform 9 3/4 secret tunnel that runs from the childrens area into a room with a train set. They regularly offer programming including author events and do an excellent job hosting these. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

We love this store! Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable staff, tremendous distractions for kids, good grown-up selections, and all-around one if the communitys shining stars. Im particularly impressed by the variety of authors who come by and by the stores partnerships with other community groups. Oh! and its a nice venue for kiddy birthday parties.

This fun little store has recently expanded into another space, so it is much larger. They are very kid friendly, and are great for helping with age-appropriate suggestions for any kids. They also have an event space where they frequently hold public events, and it is available for birthdays or other parties.

This place is amazing. Had a great time taking my kids there. They have tons of book with reviews by the staff to help you find something youll love. The kid area is a blast where kids can play with the train or you can read them a book. Highly recommend!

Little Shop of Stories is located on the square in Decatur. The staff here is knowledgeable and friendly. LSoS hosts authors quite regularly with panels and book signings and it is not uncommon to find signed treasures among their shelves.

Marvelous bookstore! They are in the middle of expanding so it was under construction but they had such a great variety of childrens books. My friend and I wandered around for at least 45 minutes looking at the new and classic books.

If you like bookstores, youll love The Little Shop of Stories. Its a real community-building place with storytimes, author visits, book clubs, and summer camps. Also a great location to hold your childs birthday party.

Great selection, helpful and knowledgeable staff, and storytime is a godsend for those of us with little ones. Theyre also great about bringing authors in for book signings and to meet the kids.

This isnt just a local treasure. Its a regional and national treasure. So much more than a bookstore. Its a Decatur institution, and Im happy to see them expanding their current location!

One of my top three favorite bookstores in the world. The other two are Shakespeare and Company in Paris and City Lights in San Francisco. Definitely worth a visit when youre in Atlanta.

Best book store for kids in the Atlanta area. Locally owned, with a very knowledgeable and friendly staff, and a very good collection of books. They also run several reading groups.
