Booklovers aren’t picky. Give us a good book and a cozy place to relax, and we’re happy for hours. It’s probably safe to say that we also love exploring bookshops for new (and old) treasures as much as we love getting lost in a good book. Even if your to-read pile of books nearly reaches the ceiling, you’ll find a ton more amazing finds at Broadside Bookshop in Massachusetts, an ideal destination for book lovers.

The world has certainly changed since Broadside Bookshop in Northampton first opened its doors in 1974. One thing, however, hasn’t changed.

Booklovers can find a large selection of books and, if you can’t find the book you want in the shop, ask one of the staff to check the 2.4-million titles to which they have access.

That large selection makes it little wonder that Broadside Bookshop sports the motto “a feast of books, exceptional service.”

Popular children’s series like The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Kids 18 and younger can even sign up to become part of the bookshop’s Young Reader Review Program.

The program allows independent readers to read books sent by publishers then to write a review on those books. Kids can even keep their copy when they’re finished reading.
