Besides shelves bursting with books — including titles you won't find at big box retailers, killer music and photography sections, beautiful art books, oodles of local titles and a superb children's section — besides all that, Book Beat also provides a feeling of community. Friendly and knowledgeable staffers remember customers and make suggestions tailored to their tastes, and frequent readings, signings, art exhibits and other special events bring together like-minded readers to connect over the ideas contained between two covers.
