This is a really cute, welcoming second-hand bookstore on Ponsonby Rd. It's got a huge selection of books dispersed through several cozy rooms in an old doctors house (according to the owner). It's a bit tucked back from the street, so it's easy to walk past, but well worth a stop in. There are many spaces to sit and read, and free wifi, so I like to come here and relax and enjoy the beginning of a book before I buy it. There are also beanbags out front, and a lovely garden with a hammock out back, so plenty of spaces to sit and relax. Recently, they had Sunday afternoon event with a book and poetry reading, and a chorale ensemble, that you would never find in the library or any other bookstores. I highly recommend stopping in on this hidden gem and conversing with the owner and staff, who are all lovely people.
