Visible Voice Books was founded with a simple mission - to provide the kind of bookstore experience that can't be had at the big box stores. As time has passed and the big box bookstores have risen to prominence, the experience of encountering books has changed. It's hard to wander around chain bookstores and make discoveries, meet new authors, encounter unexplored topics. That's what Visible Voice Books is all about - discoveries.

Visible Voice Books, opened in February 2007, is an independent bookstore with a community feel. Located in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, we offer hand-selected new and used books in a variety of topics, with store specialties including fiction, modern poetry, Beat and counterculture writers, political and current event writing, art and music books. A uniquely comprehensive and cutting edge selection of magazines is available, along with cards and literary gifts. Out-of-print, rare and antiquarian book ordering is also offered.

Free meeting space is available in the upstairs room or outdoor patio. Meetings of all kind are welcome - book clubs, writers' workshops, community groups, revolution-planners. As long as it’s non-violent, every group and all people are welcome here. We also host special events at the store, including author visits and signings, events in conjunction with the monthly Tremont Art Walk, and readings by local authors and open mic poetry evenings. It's all part of our commitment to serving as an integral part of the thriving, diversely eclectic Tremont community.

We have worked very hard to enhance the Visible Voice Books experience. It was with this in mind that we added a wine bar which features boutique wines from small, privately owned wineries. We also focus on offering organic wines and varietals grown on sustainable farms, a new trend among many vineyards. Our
list changes with the seasons, so be sure to stop in to check out our current offerings or plan to attend a
wine tasting

During the warmer months, be sure to take advantage of our beautiful garden courtyard, a unique outdoor space with a European feel in an urban setting. Relax and sip a glass of wine while perusing some of our fabulous books or magazines. Listen to free live music or attend one of our many events held in this space such as poetry readings or open mics. Open May-October.
