Punxsutawney Phil took one look at his shadow and said, “You’re welcome.”
Thanks to snow and subfreezing temperatures, we will not be buying books today or tomorrow (Saturday and Sunday), February 7th and 8th. Our book buying happens outdoors, and Phil has made it very clear that winter is not finished with us yet.
The stores are still open for browsing, wandering, and warming up among the shelves. Book buying will return when Phil loosens his grip and remembers that spring exists.

We buy books every day outside at the Main Barn location.
No appointment is necessary; it is first come, first serve. We buy books all year round from 11am to 6pm. We are open 363 days a year. If it is raining, snowing, or below 20 degrees Fahrenheit with wind chill, we are unable to buy books. If in doubt, call us before you come out.
