I DREAMED of having a bookstore in the historical Village since I was a kid. And I couldn't be happier with the results. Lovely staff, bright and open spaces, adorable children's section. The selections are tailored, and I love that any customer can write a review to be displayed! They are quick with responding to my special order requests.
Monarch Books is a gem in this community! I’m an educator, and the books that the owner curates are thoughtful, representative, and diverse. I love the space, and how it is laid out. The children’s section is my favorite children’s section of any other book store in the county.
Too dang expensive, no used books or bargain options. Worth it if you like looking at the covers, not great if you like reading them. Also, most of the books are gay. I ain't homophobic, I'd just like a bit more variety, especially in the nonfiction department.
Absolutely fantastic bookstore! The staff here are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always eager to help find the prefect read. The selection is impressive and the store makes it easier to discover something new. I highly recommend stopping by- it's a must-visit for anyone in town who appreciates a great book and even better bookstore experience!
