“This was an exceptional book store. An attentive lady with short hair guided me to my destination. She scoured the area using memory and signage.
I found a useful book. I left the bookstore with a task completed.”
“A hidden gem in New Haven! Free books! I found some copies of my favorite book here and a few others to explore also consider donating your books! Some photos are from the mutual aide program that is run here monthly. Free items for all, be sure to donate and recycle some items food, clothing, pet food that need a new home. More spaces like these need to exist considering the burden overconsumption puts in our environment and well being. Thanks to all who make this space possible! I believe there are events here as well, just check it out!”

Book Stores
“The SCSU Bookstore is a fantastic resource for students and visitors alike! They have a wide selection of textbooks, school supplies, and university-branded gear. I was especially impressed with how organized the store is—it’s easy to find what you need without feeling overwhelmed.”
“This is a nice concept:Book store with a coffee shop, a serious book store.Some of the stuff are premade, so adjust your expectations.Their bakery’s portions are big, but being a usual France traveler, it’s just OK. Good for feeding hungry students.Coffee, oh coffees. It’s ok for New Haven standard, I guess.If not because the gentleman cooked a nice corque monsieur for, I would probably give them 3 stars.”
“All the employees here are fast and polite. I came to pick up my book only hours after placing my order on the first day of school and it was a breeze.
Thank you Tom for going above and beyond to help me today!”
“Book Trader is one of my favorite places on campus. It’s the perfect study spot with amazing drinks, great snacks, and such a cozy atmosphere. The concept of trading books is so unique and awesome.
On top of that, the owner, David, puts so much care into this place and is one of the kindest people ever. He’s made such a positive impact and his warmth and passion for the shop really show.”
