Description

Specialties

We are a used book store. We specialize in contemporary fiction and try to keep up with both the latest reads and the well-​loved classics!

History

Established in 2007.

The Frugal Bookworm was opened by Karen, who loved books and wanted customers to have a second hand option. We now have another store in Owasso called Needful Things, which is both a used bookstore and a flea market.

Manager

Just a small town girl living in a lonely world world… kidding. I am a small town girl, but it’s hardly lonely when you have plenty of books to read. I’m the manager of The Frugal Bookworm. I love to read (go figure, right?), make jewelry, which is sold at the store, and design dresses that will never exist because I can’t sew.

This is the cutes little bookstore. While we were in Tulsa for the weekend, we stumbled upon this little spot in the middle of a shopping strip.
The owner is super sweet and is knowledgeable of all of her inventory. She is the only one who works here and is able to point us in the direction of anything and everything. The prices are reasonable for used books and definitely a better choice than buying brand new.
If you are in the area, come by and check this out. You won’t be disappointed.

Ahhh, I love the smell of books! After driving by so many times, I finally decided to stop in and check it out. They cram a lot of great books in this small storefront. Loved how every section was clearly marked and alphabetized; browsing was a breeze for the limited time I had to look. Lady at the counter was not over friendly, but friendly enough for me as I like to peruse undisturbed. They have a small kids section, so I picked up a Scooby-​doo book for my son for 75 cents! Definitely will be back

Book Selection is good but the customer service is lacking. After discussing an old account I may have had at the store, the employee seemed inconvenienced about having to take the extra step to look it up and apply it. I hadn’t been in this store for several years, and now remember it was the customer service that had turned me off. I got my $ 5 book bargain but will look elsewhere in future for hard copies. I hope greatly their customer service improves.

I love a good, used bookstore and The Frugal Bookworm is no exception to this. The staff is very friendly and helpful when asked (otherwise they let you peruse without intruding). The variety of books is large but not vast. You have your pick of romance, sci fi, and fiction but non fiction is quite smaller in selection. Prices are great, very much aligned to what you pay for a used book from Amazon with shipping. The bathroom was out of order last time I was here, so just beware.

I really like this bookstore. The employees were very friendly and helpful. Reasonable pricing and they don’t screw you over on trade ins. The store is clean and more organized than most used bookstores I’ve been to in the past.

Yeah, I really like this place :)
nice selection of books and comfy seats to read. I could spend hours there.
Last time I was there, the credit card machine was down but other than that, it’s a great little place for books.

Great neighborhood bookstore. Very helpful staff. Super clean for a used bookstore. It has the friendly vibe and knowledge of the legendary Louis Meyer shop. The only, and I stress only, reason I didn’t go 5 stars is due to the small size of the store, thus limiting the selection somewhat.
