Old Book Barn is a giant used book store in Central Illinois. It is located in a small town just outside Decatur, and few people even know that it exists.
Spanning 14,000 square-feet, this used books warehouse is a paradise of bargains and old books, CDs, DVDs, and even audio books. Guests can also trade books, but you'll have to stop by the store to get more details about that process (address below).
Old Book Barn features more than 250,000 different books in all genres and formats. Best sellers, self-help titles, biographies, cookbooks, how-to books, classical fiction, and much much more abound.
Like any bookstore, you'll find everything well-organized by genre or topic. Children will find fun and adventure in the kids' books area while older readers will find more adult titles under history, spirituality, and other niche subjects.
Unlike most bookstores, you may encounter some extra special helpers throughout the place. Every once in a while you may find a cat sleeping among the stacks of books.
This amazing used books warehouse is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. You never know what you'll find at this incredible book shop.
