“I contacted this business about having a new roof around two months ago. Their promptness pleased me, and the cost and caliber of their work were well within my means.”
“Leave it to Margo to open her doors and her heart to Puerto Rican author and historian Elba Iris Perez’s debut novel —THE THINGS WE DIDNT KNOW ! For those of you who love small town New England and how —in some ways — it can remind you of a Puerto Rican Pueblo, grab this wondrous gem of a family narrative set in both Woronoco, Massachusetts and la Isla del Encanto!”

“The owner is as knowledgeable, kind, and extremely helpful. It’s the kind of store where you can get a personal attention by someone knowledgeable about books. This local store has a personal touch, if they don’t have it, they will order it. I’ve run into the owner delivering books to elderly customers that are home bound. When is the last time you’ve EVER seen that? They have earned my business for life. Sorry big box stores.”
“Great used book store in Madison! I love collecting vintage books and they had a wide variety across different price points. I was able to buy four beautiful books from the 1800s for $45. Will definitely visit again!”
“This store is full of peace and God’s presence, I went in for a study bible and ended up purchasing a bible for everyone in my home. Marianna is so pleasant And welcoming. She is like an angel, do not hesitate you will be very happy you went to her.”
“Worth visiting again and again!
The book barn is exactly that an old barn filled with lots of used books at great prices.
Finding what you want: The shop is well organized a labeled. There is a lot to choose from, yet I wouldn’t come shopping with a specific book in mind and hope to find it. As with all thrift store shopping it’s better to have general idea of the types of things you want and see what you find. Maybe you will find that specific book look you are looking for and that will feel like a huge win!
Everything is pretty well organized and I’ve found the volunteers very helpful. When you first walk in you will see books on cooking, classics, crafts, music, and gardening, etc. (the volunteers are always making improvements so this may change). From there the middle aisle is organized by author and then the 3rd aisle has books on travel, sports, self help, and religion, etc. There is a room for children’s books, fantasy books and teaching (great for teaching your kids at home).
Explore! There is more! The shop has been expanding making room for more books, as well as games, puzzles, CDs, DVDs and Christmas decor. These back rooms may not be heated so come mentally prepared and be glad that the main part of the shop now is! No more flipping through books with your gloves on and trying to stay warm!
Donating: It’s easy to donate bring your books while they are open. The donation spot has its own door. I usually pop my head in a make sure they are ready before unloading multiple boxes of books. If you are coming from a distance with books to donate call ahead. There has been few occasions when the store is closed or not accepting books and you might not know this until you arrive so call before making the trek. While the volunteers take all books donated not all the books get shelved, some books are thrown away. You can walk around and see the type of books they take. So before you unload your crate of childhood books from the 60s that no one has heard of save yourself the hassle. (I’ve never volunteered there I’m just making assumptions from visiting over the last 15 years.)
Bargain Barn: The Bargain Barn and the Book Barn or two different things with their own hours. If you come and they are both open you can enter the Bargain Barn by going past the cashier at the book barn. But you do pay at each place individually. The Bargain Barn has clothes, jewelry, and housewares. Last I checked they do not take donations on Saturdays.
When to visit: It’s worth visiting when both the Book Barn and Bargain Barn are open if you enjoy thrifting. It’s definitely busier on Saturdays and the aisles are tight so it’s hard to pass by people. Go on a week day if you can or come early.
So go check it out the prices are great and the proceeds go to charities! What’s not to love?”
“Stocks a really nice selection of comic books. Besides the mainstream titles, a lot of indie stuff. Features a great selection of graphic novels and an added bonus; because it's attached to the Kubert comic book artist school, You can get a all your comic art supplies in one store!..”
“Thank you for hosting my brother in law's book signing, we had a wonderful afternoon in your fabulous bookstore! So many great things to buy, for myself and for gifts. The coffee was definitely the best I've had out in a long time. The owners are great!! Hope to be back soon for another visit!”

“I love this independent bookstore. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they have a high quality selection of books. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, they’ll happily order it. Lovely place.”

“Disclaimer: not a student but I attended a conference for my high school students on the campus. Clean and beautiful campus and very nice architectural surroundings. However, I can't rationalize the price tag of this school and would suggest looking at state schools to stretch those academic dollars.”
“Who doesn't love a bookstore! Thank goodness BN still exists! Otherwise, I would not be able to share my love of books and bookstores with my grandchildren. The best part for all of us (well, for me) is the toy section (telescopes, microscopes, you name it, it's there). The Grands also loved the children's book selections.
I must also mention the staff! They were very helpful and pleasant. In a world where customer service is almost nonexistent, I must give compliments where they are due! Please keep up the good work and great customer service!
Training is everything!”
“Love the convenience of this location. Plenty of parking and attached to a mall if you've had your fill of books for the day. Although staff is sometimes hard to locate, they are always very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the cinnamon raisin bagel (toasted of course) with cream cheese - delicious!”
“Really nice store! It's huge! It's a little overwhelming, but in a good way. One of the workers said, "You either have to come with something in mind or have some time to spare." I had some time to spare and spent an hour just walking around. They have used books as well as new books. The vinyl section was really cool. Records from well-known artists as well as some lesser known artists. It's just a really cool place. I ended up buying a vinyl and a book! I'll be back!”
“Lovely little bookstore with diverse selection. I'm sure some people would appreciate if they could make the aisles more accessible to people dependent on wheels”
“Prices are high on basic goods as expected and the variety of brands per object is limited. Again, being a campus book store, this is expected. Oddly, they don't have basic necessities like milk, laundry detergent, or bleach (3rd is understandable).”
“I love the store!! They are fully stocked with everything you need. I was very impressed by the stock and organization. The employee that rang up my purchases was kind, efficient, and professional.”
“The Beginning. The first Indigo location opened in Burlington Ontario in 1997, created with the desire to bring a unique cultural destination to the Canadian retail marketplace. Indigo Books & Music Inc. ("Indigo"), as it exists today, was created in August 2001 upon the merger with Chapters Inc.You can enjoy flipping through the books and relax before checking out your items. They also have a section for kids, and sell bath-wear stuff, kitchenware, stationeries, etc.It's become my favorite coffee table bookstore in New Jersey. The displays are lovely and the children's section is a wonderland.”
“People are kind and helpful, I’m a student here and so far between renting books and questions about books they’ve been extremely knowledgeable and care about the needs of others.”
“Happy to see them in a new location. Every town needs a bookstore. They do a nice job here. Nice environment. Comfy store. Bigger than it looks from the outside as well.”
“I had an easy time here. As soon as I walked in a team member guided me in the right direction. The book info desk was decent I asked for all the books on my course list and for some reason they kept asking if I would buy everything even after I already said I would. But no big deal. The supply section also had everything I needed to start my semester. The cashier was also great and helpful. Last but not least the 50 percent off holiday books in the new year was great too!”

“Store is good. Mall is BAD! Not maintained, pot holes and unlandscsped. Looks like the building is not being maintained-purposely. It's a mess all around b&n, and appears to attract an unsafe element. Closed at 7:00pm but they locked the gates to the rest of the mall before 6:00. That says it all. I won't be back there.”
