This is a great independent book store with a wide variety of books, new and used. Its extremely cozy and relaxed, with an owner who is clearly passionate about books. The smell is everything you hope for when you walk into a bookstore. The selection for children has expanded, and it sounds like it will continue to do so. The owner is very willing to order titles if you cant find exactly what youre looking for.

Greetings from Tampa! I have family in Jacksonville and visit often. Our Town Books is always on our agenda. This store is fabulous! Krysten And Dane sent a Mother’s Day Gift package to me which contained an assortment of fun toys—a colorful notebook, special black & white checked pen, bookmark, chocolate candy bar, and my favorite new discovery...an orange/vanilla scented exfoliating loofa bar soap. Divine! During the COVID period, they closed the physical store, but you can order online and still support the store.

My hometown, Jacksonville, Illinois, is lucky to have the Nursses and this bookstore. It is located in an early 20th century building on the Jacksonville Square, which the city is rescuing from mid-century urban renewal.I visit Our Town Books almost every time I am home and with an interest in history always find something of interest, new or used. The owners are cool with customers--and interactive. Not long ago I mentioned the book, The Woman Behind the New Deal: The Life of Frances Perkins. As FDRs secretary of labor, Mrs. Perkins was the brains behind the New Deal. By the time I left, Mrs. Nurss had ordered it.Great bookstore.
