Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
When it comes to legendary bookstores, South Dakota doesn’t necessarily come to mind. It should, though; if you’re looking for a place to get your literature fix, look no further than Everybody’s Bookstore – Rapid City’s amazing home to over 40,000 pre-read books.
Sure, it's just one story (see what we did there?), but they sure maximized the space!

The name "Everybody's Bookstore" is certainly fitting; you can probably find more than one book on nearly every subject here. Other than books, they also sell topographic maps of the Badlands and the Black Hills.
The shelves seem to be endless, creating winding pathways to trek and walls of pages to explore, sort of like hiking trails in canyons made entirely of books.

Where does one even start? We don't know. Upon entering the store, you'll be overwhelmed by the possible options.

Visitors from all over can explore the e-inventory of over 9,000 titles and select some for themselves if they so desire. The great news is that every purchase supports the store directly.
Collectors of old books will fall head over heels in love with the selection of vintage titles.

Do you ever hold an old book in your hands and wonder what journeys it's been on? There's an insane selection of wonder-worthy novels here at Everybody's Bookstore just waiting to make you the next part of their stories (see what we...oh, never mind).
The location itself is also perfect; it's nestled between neighborhoods and shops.

The store has spent twenty-two years in its current location, and is recently under new ownership! Owner Jessie Polenz has taken over the bookstore to continue to bring the community together through reading.
