ReRead is an amazing addition to our community. Not only is it a great bookstore, but it provides young adults with special needs a much-needed place of belonging.

Mark Pooler, YMCA CEO

What I adore about Re-Reads is that I am immersed in a community experience every time I enter the door. The staff works hard to know me, to talk with me, to ask me how I am. I truly feel part of something special every time I go there: whether it is just to browse by myself, with my family, or my students. What more could I ever ask for in a bookstore?

Allison, English Faculty

I like seeing the little kids because they always smile at me and say hi.

Andrea, Associate

The atmosphere is very helpful. People are kind. They are very accepting of people with different abilities. We have a great selection of books.

Isabelle, Associate

I really love how accepting everyone is here.
