Barnes & Noble is a large, thriving bookstore with two floors located at Oakbrook Mall. It feels like one of the only bookstores like this left, with an amazing setup. The store is clean, organized, and full of great selections, including expansive travel and history sections. It offers plenty of reading material and various areas to rest, relax, and enjoy literature. A Starbucks is located on the second level, making it perfect to buy a book, have a coffee, and start reading. It is also a good place to work on a computer. However, the doors are too heavy to open for a person in a wheelchair.
Comfy chairs, relaxing visit. Always an enjoyable experience

Shannon deserves mass credit and a RAISE. She went above and beyond helping me secure a vinyl that two other B&N could not. I mean this employee looked & looked & looked and talked to me during the search process. A great person and employee. Shannon I hope you have an amazing day and thank you again for your help.

This is a well laid-out B&N. Still wish they would have a local coffee shop instead of a chain inside.
