@GingerAntics here are the local bookstores!
Barnes & Noble is the biggest with the most selection. It‘s also the easiest to get to.
Zandbroz Variety (downtown Fargo, tagged) carries books & other things. They usually have new popular literary fiction reads along with some older books, but not a huge selection of genre reads. They always have a shelf of local books from Minnesota & North Dakota authors. Parking can be tricky. zandbroz.com

MeganAnn 1/3: Ferguson Books & More is new in West Fargo, but the owners have other locations in ND that have done well. They carry both new and used titles. I haven‘t been there yet because the whole area was under construction all summer, but I hope to visit it soon. https://www.fergusonbooks.com (edited) 2y
MeganAnn 2/3: There are two great used bookstores as well. Books at a Fifth is near Barnes & Noble and West Acres Mall. It‘s small, but they pack a lot of used books in the space. I always find some gems there for great deals. https://www.facebook.com/Books-at-a-Fifth-137204889711891 📚 B.D.S. Books is the second. It‘s been around a long time and has a ton of used books. It‘s close by downtown as well. https://m.facebook.com/BDS-Books-266360752885/ 2y
MeganAnn 3/3: If you are a library user, both the Fargo Public Library and the West Fargo Library are great. I actually use both depending on who has what and what part of town I‘m going to be in. Depending on where in town you live, there‘s probably one somewhat close to you. Fargo Library has three locations and you can put titles on hold from all of them to pick up at whichever location you use most.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

GingerAntics We actually live on MN side of the boarder in Moorhead. I‘ve got my Moorhead library card, but I honestly have more luck finding books from my Dallas library card than there. Plus, they only let you keep books for 7 days, no matter how long the book is. 2y
MeganAnn @GingerAntics ah yes the Moorhead library is not great from what I remember. I can‘t believe they only let you keep them for 7 days! I looked at the Fargo library website and they do offer free library cards to LARL library patrons, which I believe Moorhead‘s is. So looks like you can get one there as well and might have better luck. And the Main Library is right across the river in downtown Fargo so it might be the easiest to get to. 2y
MeganAnn @GingerAntics Direct link to their website: https://fargond.gov/city-government/departments/library/services/library-cards 📚 Also, I‘m curious which bookstore you were at that didn‘t even have Shakespeare! Honestly I do most of my shopping either at the local B&N or online at B&N or bookshop.org. The nice thing about B&N is if I‘m looking for a specific title I can check online to see if it‘s in stock before running to the store. 2y
GingerAntics @MeganAnn I honestly don‘t remember. I would remember the website if I saw it again. I just did a Google search and looked on a couple websites. They had one Shakespeare and it was something weird and obscure, not even something that was likely to be taught in high school or at one of the colleges. 2y
