Bookish 📍 718 Culbertson Dr, OKC shop-bookish.com
OKC’s only locally owned used bookstore, Bookish, began as a pop-up that quickly built a loyal following of readers who value sustainability, affordability and community. Inside you’ll find gently loved books waiting for their next chapter — alongside a locally sourced coffee shop, vibrant local art events and a welcoming atmosphere that invites you to stay a while. 💖 Why we love it: The owners created Bookish as a true third space — a place where anyone can read, relax and feel at home. Bookish gets its “neglected narratives,” as they call them, from a local recycling company. They’ve found new homes for over 10,000 books so far!
