Did you know? There's a huge public parking lot right in the heart of North Park!

WHY USE THE PARKING LOT?
๐ŸŒท It's cheap -- only $1 an hour, less than a parking meter!
๐Ÿšก It's convenient -- located across the street from us on 30th and North Park Way

And (most important of all) it has an AMAZING view of Verbatim Books!

There's plenty of street parking, too, and walking, biking, or ridesharing are all great options as well. Entrance to the lot is on 29th Street between University and North Park Way.

Thanks and we'll see you soon ๐Ÿ’œ
