We are the only English bookseller for miles around, so English language books are our in-store specialty. We do try to cover as broad a subject/genre selection as possible, both in-store and online, new books & gently used. Our shop is managed by a professional librarian; the shop is clean and well-organized, and our books are of a high quality. Drop by! Or send an e-mail. We do our best to respond to inquiries asap.

The craved wood staircases, the built for the ages book coves, and the wooden floors that seem to speak. But the library has two other wonderful surprises. The up-to-date collection of books, magazines, and other publications. The locals must love this place as I, a visitor, immediately loved it. Last but not least is the Art collection. The Library itself has several well-placed paintings that blend in with the furniture and neighboring books. The separate Art collection, in a separate climate-controlled room, was a wonderful well-thought-out collection of masterpieces. As a frequent art museum visitor, especially in my hometown of Houston Texas, I was surprised to find the same artist's work here in St Johnsbury as in the art museum in the 4th largest city, especially in the U.S. The Athenarum's stated mission "is to promote life-long learning through art, literature and information services, and to preserve its National Historic Landmark building, art collection, and furnishings." It certainly accomplishes that and so much more. Congratulations! Ed Davis 7/6/24

I LOVE this library.

Fantastic local library.

The kids section in the basement has a puppet stage, an area to listen to books on cd and both a magic school bus and a fire truck to ride in. This in addition of a really excellent book collection including displays of books featuring the latest trends which in this case was PokemonGo and comics. We came in for a stop in the clean bathrooms and stayed for over an hour.
