I love a good book store. This one is huge! Has a well stocked large collection. They sell used books as well. The staff was friendly and helpful. This is my place in Monroe to buy books.

Found a few books at a great price. Just not what it used to be. Family goes every week to NOT finding anything new. Thr cafe-ish was out of everything we were wanting this day. BAD BAD BAM!

Gonna miss this BAM. There is a great selection on every topic from learning to magazines, children's books to adult books, spiritual to medical...fiction and non. I love the selection of toys and novelties too. You can find Asian snacks and collectibles. If you can't find a book, they will order it. I think the only thing I will not miss is the bathrooms.

Bought this book. Gave it to my cousin in Jail. When he got out he never went back. Must have worked.

I love BAM, it's been a little while since I've been in but I can spend quite a bit of time just browsing. Mocha Joe's is always wonderful. I will have to get back in the habit of BAM when I'm in Monroe, it was so relaxing and enjoyable. There is nothing like the feel of a good book in your hands.

One of my favorite places to browse awhile. I always see so many books I add to my reading list; I always leave with merch I can't be without😊.Sales and pricing confuse me though. The items I purchased seem to always be a higher price.??

The workers here are very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. If you have trouble locating something, they are quick to find it. Everything is clean and organized!

Very helpful staff on the floor pointed me right to what I was looking for and the joe muggs coffee was better than Starbucks and at a much better price.

The current employees are super friendly and kind. We were searching for several items, and they paused on what they were doing to help search with us. They even took the time to look in the back to make sure there were none in stock. The coffee is pretty good too. 10/10 recommend for casual study/work time or just basic lazy day browsing.

I'm a fan of books, so this rating is in no way a reflection of the product or franchise. However, the service and employees were horrid. I came in with my 1.5 yr old to find him some books. My first employee encounter was with a lady stocking or organizing books on the shelves. I asked her a question and she acted like I was bothering her. Strike 1. As I was checking out, the cashier was less than amused that my son wanted to hand her the book he wanted and fell at first. Despite this, I tried to lighten the mood with apologies for his clumsiness and a smile. I also asked how her day was. She stated, straight lipped and with a sour tone, "fine. Is that everything." Strike 2. At that point, I could see there was no brightening her day. I didn't say anymore and carried on with the transaction. In the roughly 3-4 min of interaction, she didn't smile once. I said, "Have a good day" with another smile. Nothing. Strike 3.I don't expect her to rock my world and tell me her life story, but the very basic of customer skills require a smile. I'd rather order books online or go to the library.

I LOVE THIS STORE, THERE WERE SO MANY BOOKS AND COOL THINGS IN HERE! They had books that I haven't been able to find! I got two demon slayer books, they were a bit pricey but it was a nice place!

Staff is always friendly. It's kept clean and well stocked. Store needs an update but this DOES NOT reflect on current management or staff, just an old building.

Their extensive collection spans from kids' books to magazines and study materials, making it a one-stop-shop for all your reading needs.It's like a paradise for bibliophiles! What's even more delightful is the cozy coffee shop nestled inside. It's the perfect spot to grab your newly found book and a cup of your favorite brew, creating the ideal reading nook.The combination of books and coffee is simply unbeatable. The staff at Books-A-Million is always friendly and ready to assist. Their passion for literature shines through in their service.

Great place to get a cup of coffee and pick up a new book. Love that they have a great selection of kids books for my 3 year old.

Very understaffed. 1 checker (sweet has sugar) but it was Saturday afternoon so the wait time was ridiculously. Books are not presented efficiently because there's no one to do it. Just like everywhere else they work people to death on a skeleton crew. At the price of their books I feel like they could do better than this.

Wide selection of materials and a super helpful staff. Engaged multiple employees on my most recent visit and every experience was great. They knew exactly which section of the store to find what I was looking for and helped me search through their Funko Pops for the exact character I was looking for. I really enjoy my shopping experiences at this location.

Store was well organized with great selection. Staff was very helpful and they also had a nice selection of used books as well. They also sell Hallmark cards, DVDs and boardgames.

Store is big and has lots of regular mainstream books. If you want something out of the ordinary like UFOs, conspiracy theories, alternative Christian Church History books, and those pesky financial history books talking about The Fed, forget it. No way. Those won't be here. They may have it online that you can order, just like Barney Noble and Azamon. Or not. And the Barney Noble store in Shreveport is much the same as this store, lots of books, but none that I'm interested in. Even new political books, off the presses 3 weeks ago, neither carry them I guess because they must be too controversial even for the majority right-wing conservative crowd who live in this area, and the respective corporate bosses evidently don't think they will sell in this North Louisiana region. But I can order them online. So why have a big box store? I can order online from 4 other places, and some with free shipping without a membership. And one new book I want neither of these stores carry on their website. ONLY Azamon carries it. I've been trying to support these stores because I think it is important to have a bookstore in town, but I'm now giving up on them. Prices are cheaper online through Discount Books, Thriftbooks, Azamon, and eBay by a dollar or two than either Books A Gazillion or Barney Noble, and some offer free shipping without needing a membership. So why bother going to the store and be disappointed and waste my time?

I was in there for hours!😳and could have camped out! They have a little bit of everything! The employees are usually helpful if you ask for help and the store is well kept. Somebody please give me a gift card already! Great overall experience!

One of my favorite places in Monroe to hang out. Looking at the stacks is always enjoyable. I like meeting friends here for coffee because you're not right up next to others, giving room for conversation. Benny and the others make up a great coffee drink. There's always something new and interesting to peruse. Thanks a million Books-A-Million!

It was really nice to see a large brick and mortar book store thriving in the day of Amazon. Great sales on occasion, and the clearance rack is considerable.

Love this books-a-million! I first went by myself and then had to go back and bring my kids. The coffee shop is so good the staff is amazing the variety of books and games and little trinkets just blows my mind. Well worth the drive for us it's an hour and a half to get to this location, and we will definitely go back again and again!

Locked bathrooms and sales associates visiting with each other not fast to greet or help customers . I have been coming here since opening years ago and sad now but will travel for a Barnes and Noble where I can use the rest room buy books and sit read and drink coffee.

I know this is a "chain" bookstore but, for what it's worth, it's the best one we have. I consistently buy things here throughout the year. We could use more places like this in our town.
