Welcome to Our Story

Welcome to Young Heart Books and Toys, where stepping into our world means immersing yourself in the magic of learning through play.

Founded in 1989 in Somerset, PA, and now nestled in our vibrant spot in Johnstown, PA since 2017, our store is a haven for book lovers and playful minds. Under the new ownership of Renee Saylor since December 2023, we create unforgettable moments, sparking curiosity, and nurturing a love for exploration.

Discover something new within our meticulously curated collection of high-quality books, unique toys, and distinctive gifts for all ages. Embrace the joy of discovery and join us on an incredible journey of endless possibilities. Our aim is to inspire and empower, one book, toy, and gift at a time.

At Young Heart, we invite you to be part of our vibrant community where learning knows no bounds and imagination takes flight. Come and experience the wonder—we can't wait to meet you!

Please note, our collection of toys, books, and gifts is vast and impossible to catalogue completely online. Therefore, we encourage you to visit us in person to see the entire collection. Feel free to explore and interact with our offerings firsthand to find the perfect fit for you or your loved ones.
