Here in New York, you can find plenty of places to do your book shopping – we even have entire book villages that you’ll fall in love with. Some of our state’s bookshops can be a bit more unusual though, lacking a picturesque storefront that would indicate there’s an endless supply of fantastic reads inside the building. Hidden away off of a small town road, see why this roadside barn will be your new favorite place to go shopping in the Empire State.

Roughly an hour away from places like Albany and Kingston, Rodgers Book Barn is one of our favorite reasons to pay a visit to the small town of Hillsdale, New York.
