This Enormous Warehouse Of Used Books In Wisconsin Will Be Your New Favorite Destination
Bigger isn’t always better. But sometimes it is. And if you need proof of the latter, just head to Driftless Books and Music. Likely the largest used bookstore in the entire state, it’s stocked with hundreds of thousands of books as well as a variety of other media and unique items! Take a look:
Driftless Books and Music is a hidden gem times two. In addition to being located in a small town, it’s housed in a former tobacco warehouse, which is still labeled as such.
But no matter how much effort it takes to get to, Driftless Books and Music is a must-visit for any book lover – and that’s because it features a huge selection of books and other merchandise.
The first floor is the public shop, while the upstairs is devoted to better books and collections. Lastly, there’s the basement, which is full of paperbacks and $1 books and is open to the public several times a year.
Luckily, the books are divided into sections, which are clearly labeled, making it easy to find what you’re looking for. There’s also a super friendly and knowledgeable staff on hand.
Not only can you buy books at Driftless Books and Music, but you can donate, trade, and sell them, too. As far as selling goes, most books will get you store credit; however, some books will net you some cash.
As if the slew of books and other great merchandise wasn’t enough of a reason to visit Driftless Books and Music, there’s also the fact that it hosts a variety of events, including musical performances, throughout the year.
Driftless Books and Music is open Tuesday – Saturday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and on Sundays from 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. For more information, call (608) 638-2665. You can also visit the Driftless Books and Music website or Facebook page.
