    This is one of the bigger stores under the Half Price banner. It has chairs to sit in and read. It was discos. It also a decent selection of manga which is why I went in the first place. The staff was courteous and helpful. I had a great visit.

    They have something for everyone at amazing prices! They also have great guide lists for children’s books if you’re not sure top authors or reading levels of kid books. Love this place, will definitely be back!
