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?”
“Great little thrift store - The volunteers are very welcoming and friendly! Always a great selection and great prices. Every little nook has a variety of things - well organized. Definitely worth a stop in to get your thrifting on - You will be grateful you did!”

“This thrift store was absolutely AMAZING! The volunteers are so sweet, it feels as though you walked into a family gathering and were instantly brought into the family. The prices are such a bargain, and so many great vintage and new pieces alike! So well organized. Would recommend coming here again and again!”
“Stopped by today, and what a wonderful thrift shoppe. Walking in was like walking into my grandmother's house. Judith is very friendly, kind, and professional. It is worth the trip to Pompton Plains. Found nice custom jewelry and near mint condition clothes. What a nice shopping experience!”

137 US-46 west, Fairfield“I've been here a few times now and have absolutely no complaints. It's a pretty busy spot, so I've waiting for as little as 20 mins up to 2.5 hours, (you can leave and come back). The staff has been polite and welcoming, and I feel I've gotten a decent return on my items I've dropped off. I've also looked through the items they sell there, and everything seems to look like it's good quality. For those not getting any money, or very little money, for their items, I'm thinking they may be bringing in really worn/faded/stained/ripped items. No, you're not going to get close to what you paid for an item. You may not even get what someone promised to pay you on fb... and then didn't follow-through?. But it's a convenient service, and if you don't want to keep the items they don't want to buy from you, they will donate those items for you. It's a win all the way around for me. Recommend!”
“I donate and buy too. Clothing is arranged by color and type. I like the selection of home good especially for the lkitchen. I always find beautiful salad bowls and baking traits. It is in great condition and has reasonable prices.”
“I had an amazing experience selling with Once & Again! Gina and her crew were professional, timely and had excellent recommendations for a successful estate sale! The consignment store has sold numerous items for me. I highly recommend.”
