Covered Treasures Bookstore

This is a small but well-stocked independent bookstore in downtown Monument. It has an especially good children's / midgrade / young adult section, including some classics and all the currently-popular series such as the Warrior Cats. There's also a large used book section. There are a reasonable number of new releases.Besides books, they carry a large selection of greeting cards, some art supplies, blank books (journals), notecards, puzzles, and miscellaneous gifts. You can also buy gift cards in any amount, and they will special-order a book for you if it's not in stockThe store is well-organized by type of book, both in the new and used sections. It's also a beautiful store, with lots of natural light coming in through the south windows. A plus for this store is that they host lots of book signing for local authors. You can support both your local store and your local authors all in one place!

Small town bookstores are the heart of any small town....and Covered Treasures is no exception! They always have what I want, and on the rare occasion they don't, they order it for me -- even some unusual books and out-of-print stuff! The Bookstore Babes are the BEST!

Terrific Book Store!!! For personal service from people who REALLY know books, visit Covered Treasures!!!

I have visited this store on three separate occasions, and was disappointed to learn that it was not open on any of the three visits I made. Two such visits were after 6 PM, and the hours do not allow for shopping after about 5, once I tried to visit during the 4th of July festivities mid-day, which business-wise is one of the biggest days for any store in Monument, and found that it was also closed. I am a dedicated bibliophile, and would no doubt give this store a lot of business if ever it were open! based on the interesting window displays it would be a treasure trove of book finds... if ever I visit in an hour they are open I will report back. I was hoping that the owners would check Yelp... it's a good resource for how the public feels about the business you do. No one has claimed this business yet. So far, disappointed since it seems the ownership is not interested in peak hours to make money, and get the word out on their (seemingly) unique bookstore.

Fabulous service, great selection, wonderful, helpful and professional staff - this independent bookstore is a local treasure!

Tommy always helps me get the books I want. Lived here for 35 years and love this little bookstore!

I love this bookstore! I am a fan and supporter of the independent booksellers versus the chain stores. Covered Treasures has a broad selection of books and the ambiance is comfortable and inviting. Great staff, true lovers of books! They offer a variety of book-related events as well. I invite you to check it out!Gary S.

This is a rare independently owned bookstore. And a wonderful one at that. Obviously you don't go there for the comprehensive selection, but rather the selective, thoughtful suggestions.

this is a great book store!! A classic;) Even if they don't have the books I am looking for in stock - they can have them shipped (even gift wrapped)! Plus, upon needing a variety of the same topic book, they ordered several titles and let me purchase only the ones I wanted! Great staff too - extremely knowledgeable and passionate!

A perfect solution for the absent grandparent, they will notify or mail a gift certificate on short notice. Definitely a better choice than the big box stores. A wonderful way for the child to pick out his/her own gift !
