Used bookstores rock. Even better are the inexpensive used bookstores. Let's go so far as to one-up that with a used bookstore that has coffee (which you can sip while perusing books) and wireless internet. All that is wonderful. Now, using an imaginary, figurative, yet highly effective calculator, calculate the sum of everything listed PLUS the fact that the employees are teens with backgrounds such as "the foster care system, court involved, homeless, or have dropped out of school" working here for the purposes of receiving employment and entrepreneurship training. This is a winning equation.
The coffee is Starbucks (which has donated equipment and training), the books are great, there are CDs and DVDs, and there are open-mic nights and other community activities on a regular basis.
When I go here, I find myself buying more than I usually would, just to support the great cause. I suggest you do the same.
Why it's a gem:
Seriously? It's a great cause, inexpensive books, CDs, and DVDs. And there's coffee involved.
Tips:
Go there. Now.
