Saturday, April 25th is Independent Bookstore Day, and we have excellent news!
WE ARE OPEN!
We are in our new space, and after a whole week of hard work, we are ready for customers! The timing could not be better, since our first full day of being open is Independent Bookstore Day!
Our new address is
109 W First Street, O’Fallon, IL
(next door to Wood Bakery)
Our hours on Saturday are 9am – 5pm.
Our hours Tuesday – Friday are 10am – 6pm.
We are closed on Sundays and Mondays.
We are SO EXCITED, and we hope you’ll stop by to support us and check out our new store!
(Please keep in mind that we did JUST move in, so the store might look a bit like it’s a work-in-progress for a while.)
We’ve Got a Golden Ticket!
Libro.fm sent TBR Books a Golden Ticket! We are so excited! On Saturday, April 25th, the Golden Ticket will be hidden in our store. If you find it, it’s yours! You’ll win 12 free audiobook credits to use at Libro.fm.
Local Artisans
Our new store has more space for local creators to display their wares! If you make things and want to become one of our artisans, please visit our Local Artisans and Vendors page to read our FAQ and fill out an application.
Pottery by Ceramic Bob
Our newest artisan is Bob Gavelle (Ceramic Bob), a local potter who has been doing pottery for a year and a half. He has an analytic mind, but when he discovered pottery, “it clicked,” and he was able to tap into creativity he never knew he had. Pottery makes him happy, and it makes us happy to host his pottery in the store!
He uses food-safe glazes, but please hand-wash the ceramics (and please don’t put them in the microwave).
You can follow Ceramic Bob on Instagram here.
Our Other Artisans
As a reminder, we also have locally-made candles, necklaces, scarves, hand-spun yarn, and postcards by a local photographer. You can see all of our artisans here.
Thank you!
If you can’t come in person, it’s okay. You can still support us while shopping online for books, e-books or audiobooks: Click one of the images below to support us through Bookshop.org (books and e-books) or Libro.fm (audiobooks).
