Garden Party Books
About
Garden Party Books is an independent bookstore in Rochester, Minnesota, that celebrates reading, books, and the community. We opened in October 2021, and we wanted to create a fun, bright space that allows book-lovers and the book-curious to explore, browse, wander, and play.
The store has small rooms themed by genre, including Romance, Sci Fi/Fantasy, and the Murder Room (Mystery, Thriller, and Horror). There’s also a Kids’ Room, YA Room, Craft Room, Fiction Room, and tons of Non-Fiction.
We organize events including local book launches, poetry readings, craft nights, local author festivals, the book fair at the brewery (at Thesis Beer Project), and so much more!
We’re also a (primarily) used bookstore that works to keep secondhand books out of the landfill. We accept donations of any kind of book any time we’re open, and if you bring 5 or more you get a coupon for 20% off used books in the store. We clean, sort, and shelve the books to get them ready for their next home!
