The
Basement Bookstore is located in the basement of the Rice Lake Public Library (2
East Marshall Street).
Go down the stairs, take a right into the hallway, enter the large Friendship Room, and then look for our black-and-gold sign (pictured to the left). If you know where the Bottom Shelf Room is, you've walked through the bookstore!
