I will keep it very simple. This place is 100% volunteer and they have a list of charities they donate to. Truly kind-hearted people with one goal in mind and that is to help the community.

An employee named George allows his friends to go through all the new merchandise BEFORE anyone else is permitted to look. George actually stands guard and if any stranger approaches the new merchandise he yells at them to step away ... while his friends are digging through boxes a couple feet away. When he was directly questioned about his discriminatory behavior, he lied, claiming his friends were actually "employees". I actually had known one of George's friends for 20 years and he had NEVER been an employee at the Book Barn. I talked to this man five minutes after George had claimed he was an "employee" and we both laughed about how brazenly discriminatory George was behaving. George's other friend is an Amazon book re-seller who spends hours scanning and purchasing books every week. She's certainly not an employee. I am not upset with George's friends; I just do not believe in discrimination. All of the other workers -- all volunteers, by the way -- at the Book Barn are helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. It's an extreme tragedy that one veteran employee, George, is able to cast such a dark shadow upon the entire establishment ... while funneling the best items to his friends.

This place is such a gem. I love taking my time browsing and buying way more books than I can fit in my bag.

Hugh selection of used books in very good condition. Books are organized by categories (topics), such as specific crafts, novels, travel, biographies, etc. Volunteer staff are friendly and helpful, and money goes to charities. Books are typically $1 to $3 (some a little more). Attached to thrift store. Lots of free parking.

The Book Barn and the Bargin Barn are hidden treasures in Denville. You'll find a large selection of used books and various clothing and household items. The proceeds all go to local charities, which is amazing. The staff are all volunteers. They are caring and welcoming. This is evident by the manner in which they interact with each other and with customers. Donations are always welcomed. ❤️

This place was so much fun! I've been twice thus far and the only problem has been not being able to get there early enough to have enough time to explore the shelves! definitely devote at least two hours especially if you come to look at the books. So many books! plus smaller but very nice sections of clothes, dining wear, antiques and more. Staff were beyond friendly.P.S. I didn't realize it's two different vendors in the building, so make sure you pay separately from each section. I've noticed the book store staff are noticeably grumpier then those staff volunteers in the other section, lol.

Very cool shop that I finally got to visit. Huge variety of books, I was so overwhelmed, next time I'm coming with a list of books I'm looking to read since everything here is well organized and alphabetical. The thrift shop that is attached is super cheap too. They also take credit cards which is a plus!

This is by far my favorite used bookstore! I often find books that are like new. The selection is huge, and the children's section is amazing. My three year old daughter asks to go here often!

Really nice place. Lot of books organized decently. Not spacious but has a lot of rooms dedicated to books, games, kitchenwares and tech, all kinds of stuff. Cannot beat the prices!

All the volunteers are nice and helpful. They have books of all genres for kids, young adults, and adults. They also carry typical thrift store items, such as, CD, DVD, clothes, shoes, jewelry, home decor, housewares, kitchen ware, etc. No furniture. Love this place. They accept donations too.
