Wonderful little used book store. Actually found a couple unique titles I didnt even know I needed. Low cost. Well organized, and friendly staff. Well worth it if you enjoy visiting used book stores for hidden treasures!

Great little store 😁 bought four Amish Romance for my grandma, a book on Hello Kitty, a History of Pin-ups, and a travel book on Japan, all for less than 10 bucks. Cant beat that!

I love the fact that this bookstore is ran by the Friends of the Library group. They’re almost all volunteers! Proceeds from sales go to fund different projects that happen at the Rogers Public Library. They’re amazing.

So much for Friendly. They discriminate against people with disabilities. No entry to the store without a mask. Businesses like this deserve to be shut down.

Love the selection of books! Its not the biggest bookstore around, but they have everything organized by genre and subgenre and its easy to find what Im looking for. Most books are old library books or donations, Ive found professional books from all sorts of personal libraries. Prices cant be beat, and the money goes to supporting the Rogers Public Library. Ive found some incredible bargains here; the only issue is that there seem to be a lot of booksellers shopping here to turn around and resell for higher price.

This little book store is the best kept secret in downtown Rogers. The selection is great. The experience is a treasure hunt. The folks are friendly and helpful. If you cant find it, they will help you locate it. I love this used bookstore.

Nicest used bookstore in Rogers. Friendly volunteer support staff. Books as low as 50 cents and most are $1-3 each. Only issue is its claustrophobic and difficult to social distance.

I try to visit 2 or 3 times a month. Look forward to the monthly specials. They have a great history section. Staff is friendly & helpful. Even without the monthly specials the prices are very affordable.

Best bookstore in town! My 8 year old is an avid reader, often reading entire chapter books in a matter of 1 or 2 days, so it can get very expensive buying books for him. This bookstore is affordable and the staff are friendly. All around a great place!

Excellent store, lots of books and a very friendly staff. We drive down from Missouri several times a year (only about an hour and a half for us). Have never left empty handed.

Review №25

As bookstores go this is a treasury. The shelves are full of a great variety of opportunity to satisfy your reading needs. If you can name your topic of interest then the staff can direct you to the shelve where you can find multiple author’s presentations. When you respond to the staff’s question of ‘what did you last read’ they can send you to shelves of similar genres. If you are just browsing, the time will pass before you realize where it has gone.

Review №26

Friendly staff, mostly inexpensive... $1 - 3 a book. Strangely, hardcovers tend to cost less than mass market paperbacks. Also small selection of DVDs, video games, and comics. No taxes, proceeds go to Rogers Public Library.

Review №27

I really enjoyed our trip to the Friendly Bookstore. It is stocked through donations and proceeds benefit the library. Its organized in sections that make it pretty easy to shop. Their inventory was a lot larger than I thought it would be. Make sure you bring cash or check. They dont take cards.

Was extremely easy to donate they take DVDs too! Just drop them in a plastic bucket at the entrance and go.

Its a nice little used bookstore near the downtown Rogers area. Its a little bit cramped inside but they have a nice little organization system to help you find whatever kind of book youre looking for. The prices are really good with the most expensive books I saw here being $5-$10.It has a decent selection of books, ranging from religious texts to school workbooks to modern and classic fiction.Definitely recommend stopping by and checking it out.

Review №31

Always a great place to find neat treasures for a great price.8-13-19 They have added additional CD and DVD & VHS movies. They are displayed well and family friendly. Their quantities vary based on sales and donations, yet a valuable resource for the price and quality of selection. Couple this with a all volunteer staff and friendliness makes it an enjoyable experience.

Review №35

Amazing. Plain and simple. The average price of a book is $2. I spent $26 the other day and left with over a dozen books. Nowhere else is so reasonable, not even Goodwill. And the staff is amazing. They know their stacks and are so kind and, well, Friendly!!

Review №36

Amazing bookstore with great prices and incredible selection. Plus the money goes back to the Rogers Library. I even found a stack of old Star Trek graphic novels that I had not seen 5th grade. The prices are very reasonable $1-$3 per book and all the books are in very good shape. Plus they have a small section of rare/collectible items.

Astonishing bookstore - - crammed to the brim with treasures: books youve sought for years, and books youve never heard of... prices are so reasonable youll leave with a carton-full!! And the people are lovely, patient, generous and knowledgeable. Simply outstanding.

Cash only! Books so cheap you can pay with pocket change. Lots of quilting magazines. Ive shopped here for decades and it seems like the inventory has decreased. Maybe more donations needed?

Review №42

I just LOVE this place! They have an awesome assortment of books; anything you could think of! The help is amazing, usually elderly volunteers that are just so sweet & helpful. Any avid book junkie knows that we try to keep our favorite places secret so as to not lose all of our great books, but I love this place & Ill tell any book lover about it. I also love the old building with its twists & turns... its like a mesmerizing book maze & some days I just let myself get lost in it.

Review №43

I love this little book store. Its always fun to explore and find great deals. They have a section for everyone. Every month they have a different special where their great prices are 1/2 off. You wont find many new titles, however it still has great finds. They have business, homeschooling, and audiobooks. Not just fiction. Take cash as I believe they dont take cards. All the proceeds benefit the Rogers Public Library.

Review №44

I love this bookstore. The staff keeps a database of whats in stock. They will take a note and will call you if you request books on a certain topic, by a certain author or title. And they do an excellent job of remembering. They always have a sale on books in a particular section. Ive never seen a book there more than $3. Thats even for nice, new hardbacks. These people are wonderful for area readers and the library.

Review №45

Four Stars only because of its size. It is small but crammed. Dont expect to find everything, but If you love books you will find a personal jewel on every shelf, with prices so low you can owe them all. 😊

Went to pick up a book that I had asked them to watch for. Simple process, they email you when it comes in and you have 2 weeks to pick it up. Knowledgeable staff and volunteers.

Review №73

Make this a stop on any swing thru the Rogers area. Incredibly organized with cool nooks devoted to various subjects. Put a book youre looking for on their watch list and theyll call you when they get it in...if they dont already have it. You can buy books like a drunken bibliophile and not spend more than $20. This is an underappreciated gem on the downtown Rogers shopping experience. And to top it all off, the $ made at the bookstore supports the library. So, shop, donate, or both!
