Card Carrying Books & Gifts

Cozy little shoebox store with a small selection of fiction, nonfiction, kids chapter and picture books, as well as book-adjacent and feminism/pride items. Fiction has a few sections to browse including fantasy and a banned book section! Checkout also had the option for cute wrapping paper.
Paige the cat is worth the visit alone and was very sweet. The bags from the shop are also the perfect size for your cats to play in

This was such a nice store! Loved their decor and products. They had a lot of information supporting LGBTQ and feminism.
There was a great collection of books in different genres.
This would be an ideal store if you are looking to buy a gift for someone special!

Loved this little place! Great selection of titles by and/or about women and people of color. They have some young adult and kids books too (get em started young! 💪) Might even sign up for their monthly book club. Market St is a quaint little street with lots to do...definitely make sure you stop in this feminist, LGBTQ friendly shop!
PS - they have a cute little reading nook out front during COVID's road closure!

This place is magical. The array of books is incredible, and the owner is incredibly kind. I asked about a piece of art on the wall, and asked if it was for sale. She said it wasn't, but gave it to me completely free of charge. I was blown away, and now that art is framed on my bookshelf :). I will be coming back here ASAP!

This is a wonderful, friendly place to shop, very warm and inviting. Books are displayed in such a creative way they temp you to pick them up and peruse a topic you didn't even know you were interested in! While they have a great selection of books in stock, what is even more impressive is that every book I have had to order has arrived in record time! The next time you're thinking of ordering a book from Amazon, come here first, you be glad you did.

Quaint little book store with a good selection. Incredibly friendly staff. Worth a quick stop if in the area.

I'm gonna say I've been here only once, it's cute and comforting, also it's supports LGBTQ and feminism. One question is are there classic novels?

Very unique place. The person managing the store was super warm. Indie bookstore strongly themed for representing the minority (feminism, LGBTQ). Appreciate the honest work being done to generate awareness for the minority causes.

The bookstore is an amazing and inclusive space. I love going to their bookclub too. They will order books for you if they don't have it in stock.

I stopped in last Friday on a trip to Corning. This store is absolutely fantastic and a must visit location. The woman working there was helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere was creative and inviting. The selection is also on point.

Excellent small bookshop with a personable owner and a nice selection of diverse books, stickers, literary prints, and greeting cards

This is such a fantastic book store! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They continuously go the extra mile for their customers and community. The highest recommendation!!!

A nice little bookshop with a largely feminism-oriented collection of books. It’s got a beautiful cozy feel to it as soon as you enter. They are kind and helpful.

Lovely owner and great selection of literature, especially regarding feminism and minorities; must-visit for book lovers in Corning!

Very nice shop with lots of great items. There is a wide variety of home, women's and men's items. Very high quality stuff, highly recommended!

Nice little book and stationary shop. Good place for a gift or something for yourself.

Great little bookshop with a fantastic selection.

Wonderful service and a wonderful selection of books and other fun things!

Best shop I've ever been to, kind workers, welcoming environment, and high quality products.

Unique sanctuary for anyone interesting in inclusive reading that will broaden your horizon.
