hello again books embraces three core values: community, diversity, and creativity
We make our best effort to promote a sense of community through our branding, our store environment, and our events. The location lends itself to the unique events and activities that are already part of historic Cocoa Village, drawing people from all over!
We strive to embrace the diversity within our community — we celebrate women, the LGBTQ+ community, and all racial and ethnic groups. We hope that we may serve as an inclusive and safe space for those who seek one.
We believe that by embracing the creativity of a truly diverse community, we can contribute (in our small way) to making our corner of the world a more welcoming and friendly place!
