Pages For All Ages Books Music Cafe & Dvds

I have shopped at Pages for All Ages my whole life. I am so very sad and truly heartbroken to hear of it’s closing.
It will be missed!
News Gazette article here:

Pages is THE bookstore around. Although they can be a bit snooty at times, they’ve been around long enough to deserve that right! I’m a local as well, so I used to shop there when it was in Champaign. It’s new (er) location in Savoy is not as quick and easy to get to, but always worth the drive. I love that fact that it is a local business, with all the benefits of a Borders or Barnes & Noble! Plus they give way better discounts a lot of the time.

Love it. When I walked in, someone said «hello!» and wasn’t even fake about it. Then when I checked out, the same someone actually conversed with me about my book, which, when I asked someone for help finding, I got help finding with NO ATTITUDE.
The selection was a little tiny bit weaker than at a chain (they actually didn’t have what I wanted, even though what I wanted was a pretty popular normal not weird book by michael chrichton), but they had the basics and I would bet a million dollars they would take special orders with a smile.

I love to read and I love Pages For All Ages! I’m a local girl so I remember riding my bike to their old location in the Old Farm Shops way back when.
The new location is a bit farther away from the center of town, but the store itself is probably four times the size and much better organized.
The beauty of Pages is that it is a locally owned bookstore with the stock of a corporate one. It feels good to support local businesses and Pages lets you do just that without having to sacrifice selection.
They have most any book you could go out searching for and if they don’t have it in house, they will gladly order it for you in about the same time it would take Borders or Barnes & Noble to.
Additionally, Pages offers a neat frequent-​buyers club that gives you discounts on your tenth book purchased and on any total order during your birthday month. I’ve saved up my discount many a time to take the edge off of some of my pricier lustings. And anyway, aren’t there worse things to be spending my cash on than good reading material?
In the time it takes you to head north on Prospect to reach a corporate book mall, you can head south instead and feel good about where your beloved books are coming from.
P. S. check out the bookclubs and featured author readings that are happening just about every weekend.
