Such a wonderful store! Would highly recommend it to anyone in search of great reads locally. I wandered into Symposium on a whim and was struck by the beautiful selection of books, records, and stationery. The atmosphere was inviting, with great music playing, clear signage throughout the space, cozy indoor seating, and flyers highlighting events either in the store or at nearby venues. I really enjoyed taking my time and perusing. What truly stood out to me was how incredibly helpful, personable, and knowledgeable the staff were. Five star service from staff who were a joy to chat with! Whether I asked if they had a specific title in stock or was simply looking for recommendations based on my interests, every team member demonstrated a deep knowledge of books and a clear expertise in the store's current selection. I was so impressed with how they offered insightful suggestions with confidence and enthusiasm, often going straight to the shelves to pull out their recommendations for me. I left with several new books I’m excited to start reading, and I can’t wait to return, especially when it’s time for holiday shopping!

The prices and selection were awesome. Cute notebooks, stickers, etc. LGBT+ friendly and very diverse book selection for Bipoc and Asian.

Very cool, small bookshop! They even have "bargain books", that include excellent titles at a great price. Cool gifts and lots of great titles.

It was worth trying to find parking downtown on a Saturday afternoon. What a fabulous shop! Used and new bookstore. I left with 4 books, one of them had just been released this past week. I had been wanting to come visit for a while and I’m so glad I did.

This hidden gem is a book lover’s playground! Cozy nooks, quirky finds, and staff who actually get your vibe. Perfect spot to lose hours, discover magic, and pretend you’re in a novel. Should be way more famous! 📚✨ …

Cute shop. Great place to for book worms. Stock up on discounted books. They also conduct weekly sessions with authors which is pretty amazing and live music. Definitely worth stopping by.

Was walking by and saw they had just opened! It’s such a cute and homie feeling bookstore. The girl working the counter was really nice and the inside was so clean. I love that all the shelving was labeled and they had some interesting genres of books!

A wonderful bookstore with a unique atmosphere and an impressive selection of books. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and happy to help with recommendations. I enjoyed browsing through the shelves and discovering titles I would not have found elsewhere. A great place to spend an afternoon if you love books. Highly recommended!
