“I didn't even know the book barn existed until my wife mentioned wanting to visit this weekend, and I am so appreciative of her for bringing it to my attention. We went on Sunday morning soon after they opened. Oh my, what an incredible collection of books over four floors of a cool old barn building.From cases and shelves of rare books around the desk to groupings covering pretty much any subject you could imagine. From local history to world history, nuclear physics to mysticism, they have it all.”
“This bookshop has a unique welcoming charm that makes me feel so at home! Everything is aesthetically pleasing plus you would find mall little trinkets you won’t find anywhere else! The staff are so sweet too! They are always willing to help you find something and small little things like keeping your items safe at the cashier while you continue shopping are so cute and thoughtful! Only four stars since there was only a limited selection of books and I had a hard time choosing a book to buy.”
“Nice local bookstore. Good selection of nonfiction, fiction, and children's title. Assortment of others book related gear. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Fair prices. A great feature of the community.”
“Friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of books. They actually had what I was looking for! Not too many bookstores around anymore. It's worth a trip. ??”

“These guys are also known as wilbooks, they are an online based store so you can't purchase from them in person but feel free to visit them. On my visit I was given a sample book and a special discount for my next purchase. Highly recommended.”
“Like Barnes & Noble but found this one to be a little congested in the organization of their books, etc. Very distracting when trying to look through their aisles and topics....otherwise it has a nice amount of items to look through.”
“Animotion’s new location is delightful! Their selection and atmosphere is always evolving. The staff is kind and helpful, the fish tank is AWESOME, and you will find cute snacks, stationery, and decor among the literary stock! ❤️??”
“A nice little shop and cafe to visit while at Valley Forge or visiting Washington Memorial Chapel. The store has a variety of gift items, including several that fit a homemade aesthetic. The cafe has sandwiches, snacks, and sweet treats to enjoy, as well as hot and cold beverages.Parking is available at the Washington Chapel lot, and there is a bicycle rack near the store entrance. The area seems safe; we didn't lock our bikes while in the store and left our helmets on our bikes.”
“Great little bookstore with a good selection and an amazing staff. I always get the best recommendations and they can order anything they don't have in stock. I don't get my books anywhere else!”
“If you like to read, and I hope you do, you must visit this wonderful shop. It is full of books of all sizes and descriptions. They are all used. But well taken care if. I dropped off two bags of books, simply because I ran out of shelf space. I left with a bag full of books, go figure.”
“Great local shop to pick up a previously loved book that supports local causes. Small cozy space that smells just like a used bookstore should. Always a cart outside with cheap finds... I've often picked a random book to take with me and read while supporting local food and drink establishments.”
“I was having trouble finding some books this fall and the manager of this store, Amanda, was AWESOME! She dropped what she was doing as soon as she saw I was looking confused and after I left I have to say it was probably the best customer service experience of my life. I ended up buying more books instead of renting on her suggestion since I would need them for future classes, so of course in the long term this saves me a considerable amount of money.”
