The Book Corner

Book Corner is the result of a unique collaboration between the Friends of the Free Library of Philadelphia and the generosity of book lovers.

The Book Corner is a used bookstore staffed by a team of paid and volunteer booksellers that offers new, rare and gently used books in all genres at the lowest prices in the Philadelphia area. We also offer records, videos and CDs at reduced prices. You'll find plenty of places to sit, listen to cool jazz or classical music, and of course, read!

Now the new home of Chris' Kids Corner for children's books and story hours, we feature an eclectic stock of fiction, non-fiction, contemporary, classics, out of print, first editions, art, architecture and crafts.

Open Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Visit our new online book sales at Alibris.

The Book Corner is located at 311 North 20th Street (at Wood Street), one block north of the Ben Franklin Parkway, directly behind the Central Library on Logan Square and just five minutes from Routes 95 and 76.
