Consistently voted the best of Lynchburg, VA, Givens Books & Little Dickens is the ultimate local, community involved business. Each year through their School Rebate Program, Givens Books & Little Dickens gives back 3% of all sales to schools whose faculty, parents and students mention at the time their purchase.

Established in 1976, the business has steadily grown with books, toys, teacher supplies, gifts, and even a cafe – now over 16,000 square feet of joy. On any given day, you’re likely to trip over a Givens or two if you wander into the store. Sarah, the youngest of George and Sylvia’s children, manages the store; owner Danny oversees the business, and Sylvia, who thankfully will never retire, plays the matriarch — a well-earned title for someone who has been there from the beginning.
