About

Your friendly neighborhood bookstore passionate about supporting local authors. We employ a staff who love all things YA, falls to pieces over a book about cats, can talk your ear off about current events and classical music, and have named every stuffed animal in the store. 

Meet the Manager Calla Cook!

"From the Magic Kingdom to the Bay, my background working at the Happiest Place on Earth lends itself to creating a friendly, inclusive environment right here in Alameda. Be sure to point out your favorite children's lit illustrations next time you're in - as an lifelong illustrator I love seeing how artwork moves us all in different ways." - Calla
