Garden Party Books is a bookstore and community space for Rochester, MN. We sell used books in astonishingly good condition, and we host a variety of events, from book launch parties to local author meet and greets to craft nights!

Our store is organized into genre rooms, including Romance, Sci fi/Fantasy, and the ever-popular Murder room (mystery, thriller, and horror). We also have a children’s room and non-fiction books of all kinds, along with puzzles, cards, art prints, candles, and lots more. It’s a very fun place to browse because you never know what you’ll find around the corner!

We love to read, and we love to share that love with others. Come in to find your next favorite book, the perfect bookish gift, or just a lovely afternoon browsing the shelves!
