Great local shop! Not only do they have a good selection of books they also have great gifts and household items. Would recommend stopping here to support local before checking out the chain shops in this plaza.

An associate asked if I needed help...I was about to give my standard, "No thanks, just browsing", but she seemed sincere, so I took a chance and explained what I was looking for. WOW am I glad I did. The associate knew exactly what I was looking for (a STEM toy/game for a 3 yr old) and even took one of the items they were recommending from the back room to show me how it worked. I was super impressed at their enthusiasm and knowledge about the product.

Such a great book store, with that neighborhood feel. If you can't find it, they will order it for you. Great RI gifts inside, too. Love this place. Nice jewelry, cards. Toys and puzzles. Stop in.

Awesome! Wish I had gotten her name, but the person whom helped me this past Sunday was wonderful. Frazzled looking for last minute gift. She was knowledgeable and helped me pick the perfect book for my niece Also exceeded my expectations with gift wrapping.

Loved this small little book and record shop. I came in and two guys were playing instruments which made me love it even more. I proceeded to look through records (which are seriously so cheap) and the staff was so helpful and helped me find whatever record I was looking for. They also have small little Knick knack and toys for kids in the back. It’s a great place to find an interesting gift.

Fascinating. ..not only a book store but also has a good sized children's area with books and toys. ..interesting gifts ...if you're looking for something different this would be a great place (not inexpensive. ..but worth it ) wait staff very friendly/helpful ...

Great bookstore with an excellent selection. The shelves are tidy and well-curated, and it's a comfortable store to just wander around in. Of particular note are their non-book items - among other things, they sell board games, kids' science kits, LPs, and funny socks.

Barrington Books is one of my favorite local small businesses. My family and I love to go in just to look around or go to visit for their special events. It has become my go-to place to buy gifts for my children and their friends. They have a great selection of books, toys and games for kids. The staff is super friendly and helpful. And the fact that they gift wrap is an extra bonus!!!!

I absolutely adore locally owned bookstores, and the staff will warmly welcome you into a world of gifts and books! A beautiful Dutch company of fine artists produced this lovely magnetic bookmark! It now keeps my place for Alice Hoffman’s Magic Lessons which the fine people at the book shop we’re lovely enough to set aside for me!

I adore Barrington book store. It's so cozy inside. They have a great variety of books, and if they don't have what you're looking for, they'll order it for you. The employees are very friendly. Also on Friday mornings they have a small event for children!
