About Flashlight Books
Flashlight Books is an independent bookstore in Walnut Creek, CA. We specialize in books for children and teens, but also carry books for adults, as well as games, plush, puzzles, and gift items.
We are dedicated to promoting a sustained love of reading in children - particularly in their teen and pre-teen years, when they most need the messages of empathy and the diverse viewpoints that books provide. We want to create a space that is community-focused and celebrates curiosity, passion, and learning. In addition to being a store for books, we host events; have a space for tutoring, book clubs, and other gatherings; and run programs for kids and teens. Flashlight Books aims to be a place where families feel welcomed, kids feel safe, and young adults feel supported.
