Winter blinked. Just a little.
With temperatures climbing all the way up to around 30 degrees, we will be buying books again starting Monday, February 2nd. After days of single digits and subzero bravado, this counts as a heat wave.
If you’ve been waiting to sell books, this is your moment. We’re ready for the rush, the boxes, and the joyful reunion with the book buying table. Dress warmly and come see us.
Welcome to the Book Barn, a haven for book lovers in Niantic, CT.

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.
