More Than Words Bookstore and Cafe

Grab a cup of coffee. Pick up a book you’ve been meaning to read. Take advantage of free wi-fi, and a comfortable place to hang out.

You can do all these things that you normally do, and give back to your community at the same time, just by visiting More Than Words. MTW is a vibrant used bookstore and café… and it is a transformational vehicle for youth who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless or out of school. More Than Words empowers youth to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. Youth gain real-world job training, education and life support, and the true sense that they are part of a community.

You can support the More Than Words mission with every visit to the youth-run store! You will find:
~ great used books of all kinds at really low prices
~ Starbucks-brewed coffee drinks
~ FREE wi-fi
~ comfortable seating
~ late hours most nights!
~ “Open Mic” Night, the 3rd Friday of every month

There is MORE you can do. Donate books. Host a book drive. Volunteer. Invest. Spread the word. Join our movement.
