About

Tubby & Coo's Traveling Book Shop is open Tue-Fri 10am-4pm and Sat-Sun 10am-6pm, making it a perfect afternoon stop in the Lakeview neighborhood. This queer-owned store is stuffed with science fiction, fantasy, queer literature, progressive nonfiction, graphic novels, and children's books. The shop is named after the owner's grandparents, and the motto is “It's all Geek to me!” It's family-friendly and aims to be a community center for nerds and geeks.

The owner, Candice Huber, is a self-proclaimed nerd who loves Doctor Who, Star Wars, and dragons — you'll see that on the logo. The space is cozy and welcoming. If you're exploring Mid-City, it's a great spot to grab a unique read. The shop also hosts events, so check their schedule online.
