The Green Read Book Store
Located just a half block south of the Metra station in historic Downtown Crystal Lake, The Green Read is a cozy spot to browse for your next favorite book or the perfect gift. In addition to thousands of gently used books for both adults and children, it carries a wide variety of new and used puzzles, select gifts, and stationery products.

The Green Spot Book Store
Bright and cheery, The Green Spot is tucked inside the Woodstock Square Mall and carries DVDs, new and used puzzles, select gifts, and stationery products as well as gently used books. In the fall of 2024, the bookstore relocated across the hall into the former office of the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, allowing for additional bookshelves and seating.
