Best childrens book store in Hoover, Alabama (AL) 2024

I like bookstores and while Barnes & Noble had been instrumental in the destruction of small, independent bookstores, it is now a dinosaur teetering on the brink of extinction. I like heartfelt recommendations, passionate bookworms, face to face communications about authors and books, love listening to the connections you can make between authors and I always learn something new when I visit a bookstore. Make no mistake the employees here are well-read, knowledgeable, and helpful. Get off your behind, stop reading reviews and stop putting money towards another billion for Bezos. Go, visit, learn something new, and smell the books. ~Gottfried
