What are the Book Barn's current daily hours? I tried looking at the website but only found some weird Japanese creme ad stuff instead.

So sorry Kaetlen! We only recently discovered that the website domain was purchased by an Asian company, so I have contacted Google to edit our information. We rely quite a lot on our FB page. Please see our FB page for hours and other posts about our store. Thank you so much!

Only if they are somewhat current books that we can resell. No encyclopedias, no ex-library, no hardcovers without dust jackets. Paperbacks that are fairly current are best. Thank you for asking!

Kati Davis | Oct 10, 2018

Do you buy old books or take them for free

Jeff Struna | Oct 10, 2018
Lori Sprague | Oct 10, 2019

No, we don't ever buy books, we offer book trade. If we can use any of your books, we give you book trade credit that you can use in the store on our used books, you may use 50% of your trade credit towards your purchase, so if you were buying $10. worth of used books, you could put $5. of trade credit towards the purchase and then just owe $5. plus tax. I am currently employed at the store and thought I should clarify, based on another response I read.
