Located just off Oakland Avenue, near Winthrop University, The Liberty Book Company is a treasure trove for book lovers. Specializing in new and used books, this independent bookstore offers an ever-changing selection of literature, from timeless classics to modern bestsellers.
Customers can trade in gently used books to earn store credit toward future purchases, making it a favorite stop for readers looking to refresh their shelves. With a cozy, maze-like children’s section, mystery book packs, and an ever-growing inventory, Liberty Book Company provides an unforgettable browsing experience.

The Liberty Book Company stands out for its dedication to curating a diverse and high-quality selection. Shoppers can find everything from rare finds and literary favorites to affordable secondhand books. The store’s trade-in program rewards frequent visitors with generous discounts:
