    This cute STEM-based bookstore is worth a visit! They have tons of books for all ages. Get your kiddo interested in science, or revive your scientific mind with their huge selection of books, puzzles and more. The owner and her family are so great and helpful. We will be back!

    I stopped at The Thinking Spot with my daughter (9) and she just loved the store. After we left she said something like “That’s the coolest store I’ve ever been in!” I couldn’t agree more. This is the perfect place to find a unique birthday present for both kids and adults. This will be my new go-to for my kid’s friend’s birthday parties. They also have a fantastic collection of STEM books for both kids and adults.

    I discovered this wonderful bookstore today after meeting the kind owner at the Earth Day event in town. There are many unique books about trees that I haven't seen at any other store and I also really enjoyed the water color artwork on display. I just love the wooden bookmarks that smell like the forest. Can't wait to come back to get more books!

    I love to learn and so many of the books Rima and The Thinking Spot feature I am putting on my list to read! The Thinking Spot us expanding the knowledge and interests of me, my family and friends! (If there is a book you want, order it from Rima instead of Amazon. You’ll get a friendly call when your book is ready and come to pick up when convenient for you.) I LOVE the book selections, and have given many as gifts. Rima is doing an incredible job and meeting a wonderful need in our community. I’m so glad she and The Thinking Spot are here!

    Our kids (and us parents) LOVE The Thinking Spot. They do such a great job with the set-up of the store and letting kids get immersed in the book store experience. They also have so many great events for kids of all ages. I'd highly recommend stopping in.

    We had one of the best experiences visiting The Thinking Spot. The owner had the finest collection of the best STEM books for the entire family which made this place special and unique. As the name suggests, it really delivered the experience of a Thinking Spot as we were glued into the material for a couple of hours. Highly recommended for all ages of kids including adults!

    Love this family based STEM focused book store! There's something so wonderful about having a real book in your hands instead of e-reading. Lots of choices of books for all ages. I specially love that cozy section with Curtains!!

    I love science and I love the small bookstore experience. As someone with a science background it is difficult to find science books that satisfy my hunger for more. But The Thinking Spot is the real deal. They sell science books that will keep you engaged whether you are a parent reading to your child or you are on your second PhD in quantum physics.
