Norwich Bookstore

We get it - you miss browsing. And we miss you! But even as we gradually open (see details below), some of you may be more comfortable browsing from home.

So we created a new Virtual Browsing page here on our website that includes twenty books you would discover if you were here in person highlighting new and notable fiction and non-fiction; hardcover and paperback. 

There is also a new 2021 Calendar page and be sure to visit the Staff Picks.

Scary, creepy, fun... and silly! There is a fresh harvest of Halloween books and of course the old favorites. And one based on a tree in Hanover!

Just click HERE to browse...

Explore this StoryWalk marking 200 years of women’s activism featuring Around America to Win the Vote: Two Suffragists, a Kitten, and 10,000 Miles written by Mara Rockliff and illustrated by Hadly Hooper. 

What makes this StoryWalk extra special is that it was organized with both the Norwich Historical Society and the Norwich Public Library.

We are open for browsing - by appointment only. We have cleaned and rearranged the store and have set up an online calendar for scheduling.

We will begin with four appointments at a time, one person per reservation. There is no time limit to a visit! Currently we are making appointments Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, 10 - 4 and Saturdays, 10 - 2. We are not yet set up for visitors younger than 10. 

Masks are required and hand sanitizer will be provided throughout the store. We will continue our regimen of wiping surfaces regularly. We are not handling cash at this time so, if you wish to purchase anything, please come prepared with a credit card or check. (It is important that you follow VT and NH travel guidelines and stay home if you feel unwell.)

If you are interested, please go to this CALENDAR LINK and choose a date and time. Those of you without access to the internet may call the store and we'll schedule a time.

And we truly understand if you don't feel comfortable yet visiting in person... Ordering by phone, email, and via our website for pick up from the porch is still encouraged!

We will be in the store processing orders for pick up and shipping Tuesday through Friday, 9 am - 5 pm, Saturday 9 am - 2 pm. (Closed on Sunday and Monday.) Please call 802-649-1114 (leave a message if necessary - we may be on the other line) or email info@norwichbookstore.com. To pay for your order you may call with credit card information or use this secure website.

To receive your purchase, call or email  to make arrangements for pick up from our porch. Book shipments over $20 are mailed at no cost. (Note: non-book items do not qualify.) Free delivery to the main entrance at Kendal will be coordinated with Dan & Whits.

Because of the pandemic's effect across all aspects of our business, it takes longer to receive, process, and ship books than it used to. If you have a "cancel by" date, please let us know when you place your order.

Please help the Book Angels in their quest to share the love of reading! 

Children need books - especially during these stressful times!

And the Book Angels need your help to gather books for more than 200 children and young adults in our community.
