The resident of Dolan memory Care Homes love visiting this Half-Price Books. There is a lot of space for sitting and moving around and the staff is friendly and helping in recommending good books. They have a lot more than just books, so it definitely is worth exploring the inventory.

I love this location! It's big and filled with all sorts of great finds! There's one closer to me but it's smaller and the surrounding area isn't as diverse as this U City location which definitely affects the quality and variety of the book treasures.

Amazing place to explore and find hidden treasures. If you are a book lover this is the place for you. If you like cool vintage finds this is the place. Records, toys, electrics, notebooks, unique calendars, and more. I look forward to coming back and highly recommend checking it out if you never visited.
