Whether or not you consider yourself a reader, it’s impossible to deny the importance of books. You’ll find yourself needing to pick some up for school, for book club with the neighbors, for your kids, or just for fun. Whether you want to purchase a book (or a comic!) or just borrow one, we’ve compiled a list of bookstores and libraries in the Northeastern Pennsylvania area.

Visit Your Local Library

A world of books at your disposal.

Getting a library card is free and easy, so there’s no reason you shouldn’t have one. Take advantage of this community resource  by visiting your closest local library. There, you can find a huge selection of books, DVDs and magazines. The best part—it’s free! The next time you’re in need of some reading material, make sure to stop by your local library.

Forever building that collection of stories.

Bookstores are another key asset for communities. If you want to purchase a book instead of borrowing one, head to a local bookseller! Not only will you be supporting a small business, but you’ll leave with some great reading material.
