We Love You!

We pride ourselves on offering the best customer service possible. We want all of our guests to feel welcome and appreciated - and we stand behind our mission of community service.

Listening Loft

We believe in music and the power music has to create positive change. Music is a universal language that brings people from all cultures together in peace.

Confidence

The team at Downtown Book & Sound stand behind our books, music, and movies. You'll be happy with your purchase or we'll make it right for you.

Giving Back

We believe in 'paying it forward'. That's why we pioneered a program to train local people in need of work in how to provide exceptional customer service and best practices in retail.

Books . Music . Film

We are big on old school - like real books, vinyl, & VHS. We also believe in being green - reduce, reuse, and recycle - so 'upcycling' books, music and film is really important! Help us to keep things moving in the right direction - don't throw it out, share with others by donating or selling your gently used items!

Welcome

to Downtown Book & Sound!
