The Old Library Bookshop — Local services in Bethlehem

When I first approached the library I was presented with a bargain shelf on the outside, and I immediately found a great book at an even greater price. Opening the front door, the aroma of the pages hit my nose like a professional boxer telling a story through his punches. I instantly felt at home when the angels at the desk, welcomed me with open wings. Not sure why but the creaky wooden floor sent nostalgic chills through my body, I had found true serenity. The wide selection of books was intimidating at first, but I quickly felt at home, floateing through the isles on surreal book high. Finally the angelic duo rang me out and my home library had a few new editions. I ultimately did not want to leave but I had a doctor's appointment to attend to. I will definitely be back to my new found slice of heaven, complete with angels, stories and clouds...

A meticulously and well-curated, used bookshop. Our family drove an hour and and half to get there, and we were happy we did (snuck in a hike too). There was a great collection of quality children's literature (fiction, non-fiction, rare golden books), to old recipe books, great antique mid-priced fiction, Shakespeare, and a lovely copy of the Three Musketeers. At checkout, we could tell their database is well-kept. I believe they ship books all over the country, so you might be able to look up their inventory online. Skip thrift or even abe books...Support local!...

I was visiting from out of town and tried to find a bookstore nearby. What I found was the largest little bookshop I've ever visited!

Easy to lose track of time and get lost for hours exploring the choices, and the lovely ladies working the day I visited were happy to let me do just that! They know their store inside and out so they were happy to offer assistance if needed. I will definitely make a return trip when I'm...
