    I went in to browse and found some lovely books for my grandsons and a birthday card for my sister. What a large assortment of stunning items for almost everyone I know. Free membership that doesn't expire. Discounted items (including book shelves of them as well) from holidays and their book selection offers. Helpful, kind present people working there. It's downtown Schenectady so street parking. (Best to go on Sunday)

    Stopped in while we were in Schenectady on vacation to pick up some books for our family. I asked the booksellers for a recommendation based on books I've enjoyed and one recommended How to Stop Time by Matt Haig. I didn't realize it at the time, but he also wrote The Midnight Library, which I absolutely loved, so it was a perfect recommendation. Wonderful staff and a great little store. If we're ever back in town, will definitely stop in again!

    Schenectady is lucky to still have a community bookstore. The staff is incredibly friendly and very helpful. If they don't have it, they're very welling to order it. Treat yourself and visit Jay Street, grab a cup of coffee, browse a book, and support our local businesses.

    A fundamental part of Jay Street! Sure, they may have a small footprint but have a staggering variety books, seasonal items and things for the kiddos. Always a joy to pop in for books and even better around the holidays when you need gifts for 'hard to shop for' types.

    This is so much more than a bookstore! Yes, you'll be overwhelmed with the sheer amount of books to choose from, including new releases, old favorites, children books and books written by local authors but you'll be surprised at how much more you'll discover when stepping foot inside the Open Door! This is a one-stop shop for gifts for anyone regardless of the occasion. Stop in and see what you've been missing!
