Changing Hands has been a beloved Valley institution for almost 40 years. But unlike most institutions, it’s avoided the dust and decay of age by remaining relevant and vital to the community it serves. Changing Hands’ fierce commitment to remaining local and independent sets it apart from big-box retailers. Providing a place for people to buy new and used books and trade in their used books, the store also hosts authors’ speaking engagements/book signings, writing workshops and activities from tarot card readings to improv performances. If you live by the local-is-best ethos, Changing Hands is the bookstore for you.
