What is old, is new again!

Used bookstores are like treasure troves for book lovers! There's something magical about browsing through shelves filled with stories waiting to be discovered. And finding a new favorite author feels like meeting a new friend.

A few of my favorite used bookstores are:

Symposium Books – an independent bookstore on Westminster Street in Downtown Providence. They’ve a great selection of both new and used books. Their staff are strong and knowledgeable, and the Westminster Street is a great area filled with small businesses and restaurants. @symposiumbooks.

Paper Nautilus Books – my go-to bookstore around the corner from my home in Wayland Square. They specialize in rare and recent books, an impressive collection at great prices. @papernautilusbooks.

The Book Barn – The Book Barn is a hidden gem and absolute paradise for book enthusiasts! The combination of open spaces, art, and of course, countless books create a space that's both inviting and inspiring. The smaller outbuildings have curated selections, from art to science to history and many more literary treasures. Containing over 500,000 used & rare books plus gardens, farm animals, and lots of seating to enjoy your selections! @bookbarnniantic.
