Participating Store Index
How to use this index
Clicking on the name of each store will bring you to a page we’ve created for each participating shop, which will have all of the relevant information you’ll need to know for the crawl—if the store is having anything special, if there are extended hours, and what kind of shop it is (used, new, specialty, etc). There’s information about parking, restroom availability, accessibility for mobility aid users, staff picks, and neighboring businesses.
Browse by type of store, feature, or alphabetically.
If a store sells both new and used books, it will appear in both places. The percentage ratio is on each store’s page. If a store is 80% or more of new books it will only appear under “new.”
The website will work okay on a phone, but it definitely works better and is easier to read on a computer/tablet!
