216 James St., Geneva, IL 60134

Specialty Stores

Discover a welcoming environment of themed rooms filled with books, as well as a coffee shop and gift area in a historic house.

Independent bookshop opened and carries new books, a giant wall scrabble game, a coffee bar, free WIFI, space for guests to sit and enjoy the atmosphere of the bookstore, and an outdoor patio also with seating. The shop also carries a variety of gift items to go along with that special book. There are games, puzzles, candles, toys and other literary related items to explore while in the store. The Osborne’s vision for Harvey’s Tales was to create a welcoming environment that inspires the community to come together to learn, explore, escape and relax through books and other diversions.
