Between this, the little free libraries and KC Library, we feel like we're able to stave of the iPads and enjoy reading. It's tucked into the shopping center at the Intersection of Death, but it's still worth the trip IMO. They have so many books in great condition and for really fair prices. It can be a tiny bit tricky to find things but once you get your bearings you'll be good to go. The vibes in here are part bookstore, part library, part vintage market. All that to say, it works well for what it is. They also have toys and other things that I constantly have to tell my girls "no" to. Service is always friendly; on our last trip in, they made sure to give my girls some bookmarks and other freebies that only added to their excitement.

I felt most of the books were rather pricy even though it said they were 1/2 off. Some were newer, but some were not and the prices still seemed pretty steep. Vintage books are available as well, which those prices are expected to be in the higher range depending on the book. If you are in the market to get rid of some books, records, posters, cassettes, electronic players, etc then they will buy those items on the spot as well.

The older lady will tell you everything and can find anything. I talked to her just about my history with the Book Barn. In 1998, Lansing Middle School had an accelerated reader program. You read books and take tests on the computer (big deal at the time) and you are awarded points. I earned enough points that I was awarded a gift card to The Book Barn. It was written on a card with the amount, and each time you spent some of it the cashier would write the new amount on it. I walked in and asked for any recommendations. The younger lady working there gave me Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. She gave Atlas Shrugged to a 13 year old. I tackled that beast. It took me 9 months, but I plowed through it and can now proudly say that I have read Atlas Shrugged. Overall, great service, great place to get lost it for an afternoon.
