It is rare to find an independent bookstore these days, let alone one that caters and includes you. This book store is so charming. I loved the people and the message. They also have a website! If you're looking for a valuable activity for children and family, go there is worth the trip.

This is a fantastic small book store. They are so helpful, you are sure to find a book for yourself or for a gift that you will love.

Fantastic little independent bookstore. They are always so friendly and have fun events for all ages. I have been ordering books from their website and picking them up in store too. So easy to get any book I want and shop local.

Great little independent bookstore run by family and friends. Love the 3 floors with fun surprises and interesting displays, A well curated book selection, specializing in childrens books. Youll find the books that you're looking for and Harry Potter's under-stair nook and at least one cat relaxing somewhere.

Let's Play Books Bookstore is a wonderful place! They not only provide excellent resources for readers (interesting displays, suggestions, and ordering titles), they also create a great community destination. There are frequently author/illustrator visits, book clubs for a variety of ages, and fun activities such as puzzles in the cattic. Speaking of cats, the two bookstore cats who live there, Garfield and Bernie, are absolutely amazing and worth stopping in to meet! I definitely recommend visiting Let's Play Books Bookstore.

Went here with my mother and son for the first time. Amazing book store. It’s the type of store that makes you feel as tho you are home. Comfortable, no pressure browsing. Great selection of books, primarily focused on kids but with a nice sprinkle of adult titles as well. The stars of this store are the two extremely friendly cats that my son got to pet to his hearts content. The owner was incredibly friendly and took time to show him all the unique parts of her store. I will be a return customer for sure!

I order from LPB pretty regularly. They always get my books to me in a timely manner and call to make sure the order is correct. Kirsten is the sweetest person - she's so knowledgeable and kind and will sometimes throw in a book she thinks I or my kids might like as a gift. We can't wait to come back east and visit in person someday!

What a delightful shop! Bright, welcoming, inclusive and joyful. Even though I live across the country, I still occasionally order from them to support such a wonderful small business. It's rare to find a place whose heart is with the community, and those places should be treasured.

Love, love, love this store! What an amazing asset it is to our community. The owners go above and beyond to bring not only a broad selection of books but to bring world renowned programming to the Lehigh Valley.

This store is amazing! The staff is always so helpful. If they don't have a book in stock, they can order it for you on the spot. They wear their heart and values on their sleeves, and truly believe in the power of books to build up a community and create a place where learning helps people thrive. It's an amazing place to shop, and our community is blessed to have a local bookshop run by such an awesome family.

What extraordinary customer service! When I ordered a book through them, I made a mistake with the shipping. Let's Play Books went above and beyond to help me get my order. I love this place! I don't live near the shop, but I guarantee that the next time I drive through, I will stop by (and of course, buy more books!)

It's a place where you want to just curl up with a blanket and read, it's a place where you have to look in every nook and cranny to discover things and stuff.

Great that others have had good experiences. Our was completely different. We purchased a "membership" a few years back when we bought some books there for our young teen son. The guy who checked us out seemed bored and standoffish (which should have been a clue), no one else was in the bookstore. We had put our email address on the list but never received any emails - no "special sales", events, anything. I tried to put our email in the system again, never got anything.
Really liked the bookstore itself and appreciated the variety of books, but definitely didn't give off any vibes of welcoming or inclusive in the couple of times we've been in.

My new favorite spot for new books. Cozy, well stocked, and there is even a cupboard under the stairs for all you HP fans. The kids loved the second floor treasures. All around great place, glad it’s so close by!

My family and I love this community gathering spot and bookstore. As an independently owned and run store, it offers great selections, events, online webinars and author chats, and outdoor meet and greets with local artists and illustrators. They can order almost any book with comparable shipping times, with store delivery or pickup. A community bookstore is more than a brick and mortar that sells stuff, it's the intellectual and social hub of the town. It offers so many opportunities to children, parents, and families. I appreciate that they also offer employment for high school students and have been so flexible and dedicated during these difficult times. I shop here all the time. There really is something for everyone.
