About Smith Family Bookstore People are sometimes curious about our bookstores' history in this community. The story spans nearly 30 years, beginning in 1974 when Smith Family Bookstore opened its doors in a small space on Alder Street near the University of Oregon with a few boxes of books for sale and many empty shelves on the walls. Now, decades later, we have two large stores in Eugene and plans to build a third store in Springfield. Our bookstores are big, well organized, and cover all subjects. We buy thousands of used books every week, and our inventory constantly grows and changes. We depend on our knowledgeable staff to help customers find books and to keep our stores in good shape. We are a bit messy, but most of our customers appreciate the huge selection of books to browse and the diverse sections to explore. Smith Family Bookstore buys and sells all kinds of books, and every reader is welcome to browse through our stacks. We think of ourselves as a bookstore for everyone, and our inventory reflects this identity. We are working hard to improve our stores and to remain competitive in this age of increasingly corporate and consolidated bookselling. Our bookstores offer vast choices, good prices, and a sense of the open-minded community we live in. If you live in this area or are visiting for awhile, give yourself time to explore both of our bookstores. If you live far away and need help finding a book, send us an email.
