I agree with several of the previous comments regarding this store only having one place to charge electronics. I've come here many times to study and have been frustrated about having to leave when my laptop dies because there's only one place to plug it in and it's taken. As well as only having two comfortable chairs available that also always seem to be taken. The staff is typically very friendly and the selection has definitely gotten better over the years. I've never really had an issue with this Barnes and noble until today when I went to make a purchase with a gift card thinking it had more money on it than it did (I grabbed the wrong one) and when I responded to the remaining balance with "oh shoot" before I started going through my wallet for cash the cashier responded with "sorry to give you bad news, guess it's ramen for you tonight" and laughed. Maybe I'm being too sensitive but it genuinely was hurtful that she made a joke about my financial situation being that the only reason I went ahead and paid the remaining balance was do not hold up the line behind me. I genuinely was planning on using a gift card for my entire purchase and that was the only reason I went there today in the first place.

Excellent selection of books, games for adult and kids, puzzles, soft toys. Superb staff willing to chat but up about books and favorites as kids, etc. lots of people do great atmosphere. Larger Starbucks but small round tables not conducive to working on laptop and no outlets anywhere. ALSO, the epidemic area everywhere around Starbucks is horrifically dusty giving that eating sea toon a filthy feeling . I wiped one large area of wood with a napkin and got 3” of dust. Rugs could use a long vacuum session also.But would recommend as books, games, staff excellent. Parking also an ample, no problem.

it’s always quiet and chill in here, and staff are always available to help if you need to find something. i also like how the hours are open later than most other places in Lynchburg where you can actually sit down and get something done on your computer or even just read in the cafe area.

This store had both books that I was looking for. I spent around 45 minutes just browsing through the store after finding the books I was there to get. The store is clean and the staff are friendly and very helpful. The men's restroom is very clean, but the toilet paper is a little on the rough side. Other than that, I can say that this is an awesome bookstore.

I wanted a book that was not in-store at my location, so the staff ordered it for me. When it arrived, I was checked out by the most lovely cashier, Sul. She was sweet and passionate about books.

This Barnes & Noble has a good selection of books and for the most part he's very quiet location.Outside of the book selection you will also find movies, records, and games. They also have a good selection of younger children type games and toys.I would like to see additional seating towards the front of the store, as being a college town they're usually a shortage of places to sit.As for the Starbucks that is located inside, the older gentleman is a pleasure to deal with and is quite the professional barista.

Had to give up waiting to be served at the cafe because an employee was placing a large, very complicated order at the register, based on texts on her phone from multiple friends. All we wanted was a small order and the employee never asked us if we wanted to go first. Her order was taking so long that we had to give up and walk out.

Great place to find not only books but stationary, toys, puzzles, gift items etc. It is an adults toy store. We love Barnes and Nobles!

i have mixed feelings with this b&n. the staff are so friendly and helpful, but for a place that has a café, there aren't many places for individuals to charge their electronics. the book selection has expanded since the rise of booktok/bookstagram, so that's another positive. i wish there was a little more seating arrangements and study spaces with charging stations or outlets.
