If you're looking for books, it's definitely worth the drive. Newer books and old books are available. Fiction and nonfiction, magazines, some music, and videos are also available but in very limited quantities. Very helpful and friendly staff. I do miss the kitties they used to have, though.

So many books! The books are divided into sections based on genre, then author. I can easily go to my favorite genre and find books I've been looking for. They also have popular books that are new you can buy as well. I make this a stop every time I'm in town visiting family. I've found so many on my tbr list!!

First time here.... Got together with some book club friends and we made a day trip of it.
Drove 2 1/2 hours to check it out and have an adventure.
Huge place and can be a little overwhelming.
But everything was neat, put in different genres, and very well organized in alphabetical order. You don't see that often in a used book store.
I had taken a list with me of books I was interested in, they didn't have any, but I found 5 others that I'm looking forward to reading.
Some of the used books seem a little bit high in price, but I based that off of what I could buy it used on Amazon. The price wasn't such a huge difference to quibble over.
I would go back if I lived closer.

What a wonderful book store to explore! The store is organized by different subjects so it is pretty easy to find what you’re looking for. They have local history books and postcards for sale when you first come into the store. They have new and used books available for purchase. I plan to come back.

The place is sprawling, beautifully organized, and the sections’ decorations are as much fun to look at as the assortment of actual books. The prices are reasonable and the employees are helpful and kind.

Always loved the old book barn. Helpful staff held what I called in to find and pointed me to another series similar that I also love!

A super unique find. I was unsure of what to expect and I was blown away. There were so many books I could spend days in there and not see it all. Will definitely be going back.

I have seen the Old Book Barn promoted on Social Media and my wife and i decided to go there on our way to Arthur IL. We could have spent hours going through all of the books. We were each able to find three books to fill in those rainy days. Now knowing that we can bring back books to exchange for others we will be returning.

You definitely need some time to peruse the massive amount of books they have. I grabbed two from my book list for $9 each. The staff is super nice as well.

This place is AMAZING. They have their books organized in a really cool way. The books on wars are in the "War Room" and everything is decorated on theme for their area. They have really old books from the 1920s all the way through what are current and hot reads. I found a book series that is a hot item right now for a great price plus another series that isnt as popular. They get a really steady business and are very helpful. The only improvement I would like to see is an electronic cataloging system in the future for ease of access since my phone didnt got a signal in the store.

Hadn't been here in years, took my 13 and 10 years old daughters with me looking for poetry for my oldest. They have a small selection of poetry, but it didn't matter, we found the perfect book anyway. And made a nice memory with my girls.
