Brattleboro Books

Brattleboro Books mirrors the vibrant, slightly eccentric spirit of its hometown, one of Vermont's most culturally rich small communities. The store functions as part bookshop, part art gallery, and part community center, with rotating exhibitions by local artists displayed alongside the bookshelves. The new and used books intermingle freely, keeping prices accessible in a town where affordability matters. The art and crafts section is outstanding, reflecting Brattleboro's strong maker culture, while the alternative health shelves cater to the town's holistic-minded population. The cafe serves organic coffee and baked goods from a local cooperative bakery. Live music events and poetry readings happen multiple times per week, making the store a key node in Brattleboro's cultural network.
