HPB St Paul

I love this location! The staff is friendly and helpful, theres a convenient parking lot, and theyre dog and kid friendly. My favorite place to browse is the large fiction section downstairs and theyve always got something interesting in the sci-fi/fantasy shelves. I look forward to many more visits!

Well stocked and airy. Convenient to order online for pickup. Google Maps may give you as poor of directions as it gave me to get to the front door, but there is a parking lot with plenty of space and some street parking nearby as well. You can turn into the lot from either direction on Ford, though it is easiest if you're driving westward (toward the river).

I mean, it is exactly what it says on the tinIf you like books, and want to own some, this is a much cheaper alternative than than a brick and mortar bookstore that sells new books. The employees can look up if they have anything in stock, because obviously it's constantly rotating..... But that's part of the fun, a feature, not a bug. If you want a specific book, might I suggest getting on a waitlist for the library (or support your local bookstore, obviously)
