A Little History

Why Build A Book and Toy Store in Oakdale, CA?

In an era of online shopping and big-box retailers, you might wonder—why open a bookstore in a small town like Oakdale? The answer is simple: community, connection, and the love of stories.

Oakdale is more than just a town; it’s a place where neighbors know each other, families put down roots, and people value experiences that bring them together. Story Books + Toys isn’t just about selling books and toys—it’s about creating a space where people can gather, slow down, and reconnect in a meaningful way.

What does a bookstore mean to you?

A place to discover, learn, and escape—because nothing compares to holding a real book in your hands.
A hub for families—where kids can explore books and toys that spark creativity and curiosity.
A local option for thoughtful gifts—because shopping small means supporting the community.
A gathering place—for book clubs, author events, and shared conversations that enrich our town.

Will there be books for all ages?

Absolutely! Story Books + Toys is designed to be a place for everyone—whether you’re a toddler just beginning to explore the magic of stories, a teen looking for the next great adventure, or an adult in search of an inspiring read.

What exciting toy lines will you be bringing in?

At Story Books + Toys, we believe that play is just as important as reading when it comes to learning, creativity, and development. That’s why we’ve carefully curated a selection of unique, high-quality toys that inspire imagination, encourage problem-solving, and promote hands-on fun for kids of all ages.
