Barnes & Noble is a wonderful and pristine place with a cool and calm atmosphere. It is a big store where customers can get lost for hours looking at different books and subjects. The staff is friendly and helpful and will look up requested materials. The store is very clean and comfortable with posh and comfy chairs. It also has a Starbucks. Some note the parking lot needs maintenance, but it remains a favorite and the best place to go.
Classic B&N experience, takes you back to the early 00's. A must if you have never been or are nostalgic for a simpler time. Most cities don't have this any more, don't let this die Erie.

I have so many good memories of this B&N. I went to the midnight premiers of Harry Potter, bought my first graphic novels, and discovered so much with my family. I always saw Erie icons Jesse and Ricardo always reading, studying, or sipping drinks at the cafe. This bookstore is pure magic.
