The Book Cellar
Making literacy affordable, available, and interactive.
Welcome to The Book Cellar, Abingdon’s cozy little haven for book lovers! Tucked inside a charming historic building, we’re all about stories—both the ones on our shelves and the ones shared by our community. Our selection of used books ranges from beloved classics to surprising hidden treasures. We’re passionate about sustainability too, crafting our space with second-hand materials wherever we can. But more than a bookstore, we’re a gathering place for readers—hosting book clubs, author talks, and special events. Come in, get comfy, and let yourself wander through the pages of your next great read!
