Where can you support P.G's Storybook Emporium? There are so many ways! Supporting the Emporium can look different then you may expect and it doesn't always cost money! Never heard of Libro.fm? You're missing out! Libro is a great resource for collecting audio books. But my favorite thing is their support to the indie bookstore! Libro partners with awesome indie bookstores (like us) to help spread the love of reading through books by allowing you to pick your favorite indie bookstore (or shop through their link) to share the profit with. By doing this, it allows loyal bookworms to enjoy their audio books while still supporting their favorite stores and helping them continue to do what they do best, provide books! And, it's easy to navigate! It's also the reason I've started listening to audio books myself. Here's how you can support the P.G's Storybook Emporium and enjoy your audio books! When you go to Libro, make us your store of choice. Shop by using the link above (just click on the first sentence that's underlined) or any of the links to get your audio book I share in my posts (sometimes those links may be in the comments, too) We've even included links to the audio version of books on our website's book pages that we hope you'll use! Just clicking on those links will take you to that book's listing on Libro with us as the store you're shopping with for that order! Get a subscription (with us as your store of choice) to add to your audio library and support us every single month your keep your subscription (you can cancel at any time). Tell all your bookworm friends to use Libro and let them know that if they don't have an indie bookstore they love (or if that indie bookstore they love is us) we'd love to be their store of choice! We might be obsessed with Bookshop.org right now! Bookshop is another phenomenal group that supports bookworms and indie bookstores alike in some pretty amazing ways! Bookshop partners with indie bookstores and allows us to provide goodies through them to all of you! My favorite part is that your indie bookstore of choice gets the profit (or a percentage of the profit depending on the store) from the book just like if you got it through us and they take all the profits from any orders not made through a bookstore and a small portion from every other order, and they divide it up and send out checks to indie stores with physical locations! My mind is blown! It's a great way to support small indie stores! How can you support us through Bookshop? Use our links (the one above, the ones on our website with the books we have on our site, or any on social medias) when you shop Bookshop! Using our links will set us as your bookstore so that anything you adopt, supports us! If you go straight to Bookshop.org, search our store (P.G's Storybook Emporium) to make us your store. Find a book that we have previously loved that you want new? Find a book you have to have but we're out of stock? Find a book that's part of the series and you now have to get your hands on the WHOLE series? Order them from us and our Bookshop! You'll be happy you did! Consider ordering items available for "Special Order" through our Bookshop page. Facebook is our favorite social media platform! We love posting updates of what's going on in our store, talk about what we're currently reading and just enjoy being a bookworm and supporting us on Facebook is just as much fun! Some of the best ways you can support us on FB are: Follow us (click on "facebook" at the top of this blurb and you'll be whisked away to our facebook community page!)

Twitter is another fun place to find us, though, we'll be honest, not everything gets posted on there (we can be a little wordy sometimes...and Twitter doesn't like that). On Twitter, we spend most of our time enjoying the bookworm life! We talk about what we're reading, share important store information and talk about...well...books! Plus, much like Facebook, it's a great way to support us without spending a cent!

It's one of the places to go if you want to up to date on what's happening at the Emporium. You can support us on Instagram by: Following us! You can find is through the link above and it allows you to be up to date on what's happening, tell us your thoughts and be among the first in the know while you support us. I don't see a downside here. Comment and like our posts. Not only does it let us know you're there and you like what you see, but it tells the algorithms not to overlook us and reminds them to share our awesomness... speaking of sharing, tell your bookworm friends about us, too! Word of mouth is among the BEST compliments we get! It lets us know that we are achieving our goals and helping to make the world, and the lives in it better and positive.

Pin our pins (especially our original pins made by our wizards). It helps us get more eyes on our hard work! Post our pins on the socials Tik Tok is the newest of our socials (so be patient. We're learning) but so far, we're kind of loving scrolling through the app. (don't tell my husband. He tried to get me on Tik Tok for a while and I fought tooth and nail)! It's a great place for updates, advice, and book talk while getting to know us. I'm not sure I'll be able to hide how geeky I can get about books on camera!

I'm a wife and a mother of three. Growing up, I didn't always fit in and academics were hard for me. I struggled so much that I couldn't read until I was in 5th grade! But, thanks to a devoted teacher, the right book was introduced to me and I discovered a deep love for reading and further appreciation for stories. As I grew up and became a mother, the need to provide a vast, and eclectic family library for not just myself, but my children to explore, experience and bond over became incredibly important. As I struggled to help provide for my family, while still providing a quality library of our own, I began to further appreciate the skill it takes to create a meaningful, personal, quality collection of books we can be proud of and reflects who we are as well as our individual tastes without breaking the bank. This appreciation served as the spark of inspiration and motivation to stop dreaming and start doing! Thus, the Emporium was birthed and has become a place of constant celebration of stories; a place where those who share my passion is welcome, accepted and can find happiness. A place where stories go to be remembered and those lost can be found again. And a place that allows everyone to constantly expand their collections without the guilt. Here, every one has a story and every story matters. Our Purpose I strive to help families who struggle with providing a quality family library without breaking the bank by sharing a wide variety of valuable literary options at a comparable, affordable cost. Our Mission Statement To share a love of reading and stories with those of all ages, building imagination and inspiration for a positive world through a shared love of stories spanning across all genres, all people as well as all media types and in an environment in which everyone can celebrate stories through community and shopping guilt free via items telling stories and celebrating stories at an affordable cost.

FAQ How long will it take my order to be shipped? Please allow 5-7 business days for your order to ship. Once packages have shipped, delivery times are out of my control. Please check USPS for delivery times on your package. What is your return policy? Customer has 3 days from the time tracking reports package to have arrived to report return claims on any glass, porcelain, resin, or otherwise fragile material (as we have deemed so) and collectables or electronics. Books are not considered fragile and are not eligible for returns.Claims may be made for damaged or broken items only. In the event of a broken or damaged item, purchaser will be expected to provide a photo of the broken or damaged item with the broken or damaged part clearly showing and will be expected to ship the damaged goods back to me at their expense within 5 days, with the return claim number provided attached unless otherwise stated. Product is expected to be returned in the same condition as it arrived to the customer. Should further damages occur, customer is responsible for the value lost. Digital items are non-refundable. Return items shipped via a third party must be awarded via said provider. Although I do not expect to have to do so, I do reserve the rights to deny a return claim for legal reasons. Reasons for a denied claim include, but are not limited to, the damage was caused by USPS in shipping and insurance through them is available, imperfection was clearly addressed in listing prior to purchase or high purchase to return ratio with the customer. Why does shipping cost so much? Unfortinutely, USPS calculates shipping based on the weight and size of your package. Shipping rates have increased recently as well. Due to these factors, I am constantly striving to provide the lowest possible shipping options. What is your privacy policy? Your privacy and security is very important to me. I will never share or sell your informaiton. Can I submit special requests or suggestions? Absolutely! Your feedback is very important! To submit a special request or suggestion, please fill out the 'contact us' form on the main page. I will respond as quickly as possible to all communications that are recieved! What do the condition descriptions mean? As you may have noticed, each item has a condition description listed. These vary from NEW to Well Loved. This scale is desinged to help you know exactly what you are paying for. Here is your code to better understanding those descriptions. New- These items were purchased brand new from supplies that I hand picked. They have not been owned by any other person as of yet and, therefor, in the best conditions that they can be. Like NEW- These items are in great shape! While I didn't aquire them new, they appear there are almost no flaws to the product and do not show signs of wear and tear. Gently Loved- These items are in good condition, however show signs of use. However, these signs are indicitive to what you would expecte from reasonable use. These imperfections include, but are not limited to, creases in the spine of the book, a looser binding (which may have come from the book being opened and laid flat to read), a few folded pages here and there, ect. Loved- These are the items that not only have been loved and already enjoyed, but they exibit additiona flaws. These imperfections include, but are not limited to, torn or bent covers, writing in the book, hightlighting in the book, extreamly loose binding, ect. Very loved- these are books who exibit great wear and tear. These items are the items that may have met the criteria to be added to the store's inventory by an inch. Where do you get your product? It is very important to me that I provide you with amazing, fun items at an affordable cost! No guilt here! To ensure that I can do this, I search a number of locations for fun items to share with you. I take donations, I purchase from private, sellings listing their items online, I scour thrift stores and book stores in area. I even have some amazing help in other areas who have volunteered to shop for me to help expand what is available to me, and to all of you! In addition, I have some whole salers of which I am excited to explore and work with to provide you with some new itesm as well! How can I save on shipping by picking up or dropping off? I know that shipping can be frusterating at times. I get it! I don't like it, either! That's why I've decided to offer pick up options and delivery options (to those who live in Davenport, IA ,Bettendorf,IA, Rock Island, IL or Moline, IL.). To pick up your order, please contact me to schedule your pick up and then select the "pick up" option in shipping! This will leave you with no shipping costs! Pick up times: Monday: 2:00-5:00 p.m Wednesday: 4:00-7:00 p.m *Note: times are subject to change. If you'd like to have your goodies delivered, please select the "delivery" option in shipping for a fee of $2.00. Then contact me to scedule your delivery! Do you take donations? Yes! I love donations! Donations of books in good condition can be made by scheduling a time to drop off your donations or for your donations to be picked up (note, donations to be picked up should be at least 3 or more items)! Want to donate but don't live near me? No worries! We accept donations via mail, as well! Please note that all donations are greatly appreciated! Thank you! Where do the blurbs in the descriptions come from? I know that a big part of shopping for books is getting to read blurbs about the book before you order it. That's why, whenever possible, I include the text from the back of the book in the description. This is the most common source of information in the description area. However, when that is not available, I will either find the equvilent online or I will expore the item and write one myself. Why was a claim or request denied? For leagal reasons, I reserve the right to deny, refuse or cancel an order or return. While I do not anticipate a high number claims or the need to deny them, there are some circumstance in which claims will be denied. This may occure for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, * Claim is made based on information clearly shared on the website prior to pruchase. * Damage happened during shipping and the package had inssurance. This allows you to make a claim with through the USPS and, with the proper proof (images and a copy of the invoice) they can reemberce you for the damages. * A high order to return ratio. Customers who have a high amount of return claims or a a number of suspicious circumstances will be denied. *Claims not submitted within the two day time frame will automatically be denied. * Claims that do not have the proper or sufficient documentation will be denied * customer does not send back the itme and cover the cost What is media mail and when do I qualify for it? Meida mail is offered to those who are ordering strictly paper products such as books. This is not our decision, but in compliance of the rules set by USPS (United States Postal Service). The great thing about it is that media mail significantly less expensive, though it does take a little longer to ship, generally expected to arive about 8 days AFTER it was shipped. What happens if I select Media Mail and my order doesn't qualify for a media mail? If you accedently select "Media mail" even though your entire shipment is does not qualify as such, your order will be helpd and you will recieve contact from us letting you know that your order did not qualify for the shipping method you chose and will be recieving an invorce for the remaining amount to be paid PRIOR to your order being shipped. If your invoice is NOT paid in three day's time from the time the invoice is sent, your order will be canceled and you will have to sunmit your order again, selecting the correct shipping options. What does it mean to "special order" an item? When should I special order something?" We special order items when we do not have the item on hand in our shelves but have the access and ability to order that item through our providers upon request. You may be able to find some choices on our website that is only currently available for special orderd as well. When we special order items, they will be specially ordered with in 7 business days and, most often will be shipped right from our provider to your address, saving you money and paying for double shipping. Once ordered, your item is expected to arrive within the following 14 business days from the time the order is placed. If your item is on back order or unavailable, we will lookl for alternitive resourses and contact you (likely via email) to let you know that there has been a hold up and what our suggested solution is. What is your policy on donations? We accept donations for books in new - Good conditions for store credit only. We do NOT accept previously loved cards, puzzles, games, DVD/Bluerays, CDs, bingo cards, wearable items. Donations are considered to be any item given to our store of which we do not pay any cash to aquire (including shipping costs if the donation is shipped). Any items that are not a good fit for our store will either be available for pick up by you or will be donated or otherwise used to our descression and will be considered our proporty if not picked up within three days after being notified that they are not a good fit for our store. We reserve the right to not accept or resell donations for any number of reasons left up to our discression but may include (but are not limited) to any of the following reasons: Poor condition (covers or pages falling out, writing on the text, severe water damage, hateful or violent contents that calls for such behavior in the "real" world, no dust jackets, text books). An additional amount of credit will be awarded for each book/item that is donated with a P.G's Storybook Emporium tag still on the item as was placed by us. Credit will be awarded by the wizards of the Emporium based on a quick browse through of the book to determain what level the item will be listed as (New, Like new, Gently Loved, Loved) and credits will be awarded accordingly. New - $5.00 per book Like new-$1.25 Gently Loved: $0.75 Loved: $0.25 Items with our tag still on it gets an addition: $0.10 per item When I order, am I getting the exact book in the picture?" Images used for new items are less likely to be the exact item pictured on our websites and those offered as special order is not the exact item pictured. However, we do try to provide images of the exact item, though we do not guarentee this. This means that it is possible that the book pictured on the website may also have varying cover art as well unless specificantly listed on the listing. We try to picture all of the options availble for previously loved book, however sometimes we do get variants taht are not the same as pictured. However, in the rare case that you order a book and the one that is shipped to you is deemed a lower quality then the one photoed, we will provide you with some form of compensations as we seem appropriate. These methods are decided by us and may be in the form of coupon or gift card or a free item to equal the descrepency in price. Do I get reward points for everything I order from the website, Bookshop and Libro if I go through your store?" Sadly, not at this time. That is because the program that we use for our rewards prorgram does not cross connect to other platforms so it is literally, not possible at this time. What are your store Hours? Our website and social media pages are always accessible to pursue and adopt new items! However, people are usually in the office to help you on your journey and respond to questions and ship out orders Monday - Friday 8-7 p.m with the exception of holidays. Currently, we are temporarily closed 3/6/23 through 3/13/23 due to a family emergency as we will be focusing on family during this time. Any orders placed during these times will be shipped after we return to the office. Thank you for your patience. These dates and times are subject to change.

Donate & Grow Have books you think would be perfect for P.G's Story Emporium? Want to donate them to us? It's simple! Gather all of the items you wish to donate, send them, drop them off of have us pick them up (contact us for locations) and earn credit for what you've donated! Please keep in mind, however, that we do not take donations for previously loved games, cards, wearables, notebooks, bookmarks or other non-book items unless the items are in it's original package and still sealed, never used. This helps us ensure that all of our inventory in meets our quality control standards. Here at the Emporium, we look over each item and give them a label based on what condition they are in. During this process we take into account wear and tear on the covers, writing in the books, bent pages and more (we'll talk more about this later). When you donate your treasures, we will reward you with credit based on which of our five levels of quality. These levels are: New ($2.50 per item credited to be used within six months)- New items are only marked as new IF we can confirm that they have NEVER been read/used and the condition of the item is what one would expect when buying an item brand new at any store. Like New ($1.50 per item credited to be used within 6 months)- It is very rare that we list items as "Like New". In order to achieve this level, items must appear as if they have never been used. They must be in perfect or nearly perfect condition with no creases on the spine, no bent pages, no writing, ect. To the naked eye, these items would appear to be brand new, though we are unable to confirm that they are, in fact new or we know they have been used at least once. Gently Loved ($1.00 per item credited to be used within six months)- Items marked as gently loved are in good condition. Their covers may show some wear and tear, their spines may be creased and there may even be some pulling on the binding. All imperfections found, however are those one would expect from "normal" and reasonable use. Loved ($0.25 per item credited to be used within six months)- Items that are considered to be "loved" are items that show evidence of being more then slightly loved. These items may have been repaired or more then moderately cleaned. They may also have a significant amount of writing in them, passages may be highlighted or pages may be slightly loose. We also mark some of our items loved if they appear to have been tossed around, squashed into a back pack and their covers show a lot of wear or folds. In short, anything in good enough condition to place on our shelves but don't quite meet the requirements for "gently loved" Most items we consider to be in less then "loved" condition we consider to be un-sell-able. These items we either donate to another cause (Goodwill, little free libraries, ect), give away or use for projects or images in the future. While we do accept these donations, we do not give store credit for them. We do NOT throw the items away if we can, in any way, avoid it. Any items that fall under this category will be offered back to you or we will take ownership of them and use them at our discretion. When we receive donations, we will preform what we refer to as pre-evaluations. At this time we will evaluate each item briefly to estimate, based on what we see at that time, what we will list the item for. It is at this time that we will award credit toward items you've donated. While we do anticipate to list the items at those prices, we do reserve the right to list them as a different quality upon further evaluation. This means that we may expect to label an item as "gently Loved" during our pre-evaluation, but find during further evaluation that your item fits the criteria of "loved" instead. At this time, we will not adjust your credit. This also applies for items we credit as "loved" but later realize that they really meet the criteria of "gently loved". Credits will be awarded in the form of a coupon code. To redeem your credit, simply use your personal promo code at check out. Credit will be used prior to Tax and Shipping charges are applied. Special bonuses may be added to your credit balance for a number of reasons and promotions as we see fit! You never know what extra's you'll get! If you would like an itemized list of the credit you are receiving, please let us know at the time the donation is made. Please let us know if you have any further questions. We at P.G's Storybook Emporium reserve the right to alter and adjust the terms of our donation credit program as we see fit at any time. Credit is subject to our our interpretation of our guidelines for quality distinction based on the guidelines briefly discussed above. We reserve the right to alter and change our quality guidelines at any time as we see fit.
