For every $100 you spend at an independently owned business, $68 will stay in the community. Did you know that when you spend the same amount at a national chain, only $43 stays in the community? Local businesses like Greenlight employ local people - they hire people who could be your neighbors, which pumps money directly back into the immediate surroundings, and keeps your tax dollars local. All this makes an independently owned business a part of the fabric of your community, helping to make the neighborhood more interesting and unique.

While all that is incredibly important, we ultimately hope that you choose to shop with us because -- well, because you like us. As with most independent bookstores, here at Greenlight we work hard to hand pick the books we stock, and we strive to curate our selection for you to shop and browse through. We're constantly working on improving our systems, our selection, the store space, our events programming, and our relationships in the community, and we hope that it shows. We are your neighbors, and we hope, your friends, and we are passionate about what we do.
