Plan My Time Off For Me

In about a week, I will be at the Long Beach Convention Center in California. I don't know if I will have time off, but if I did, are there any used book stores that shouldn't be missed? Anything else there that is a must see?
Purposely open ended. If you think it's worth seeing, mention it.

You might look at Book Off in Costa Mesa if that’s not too far away.

Growing up, my mom often took us to Long Beach Museum of Art, which was enjoyable: thoughtfully curated contrmporary art with a nice gift shop, situated inside a gorgeous Craftsman home on a bluff overlooking the beach.
You'd be near the Queen Mary which is a large oceanliner permanently anchored and turned into a hotel. They have tours and entertainment, and there's shopping villages on that part of the waterfront nearby. Maybe not a must? But interesting if you're into historical types of things.
4th Street/Naples is a cool neighborhood to wander around.
