Harvard Book Store Warehouse Weekends: Local Flavors

We know you value local. 

We know you make it a point to shop at independent businesses, dine at local restaurants, attend neighborhood events, support community organizations, and champion area artists.

That’s why we’re such good friends.

That’s also why you’re invited to join us this fall for Harvard Book Store’s Warehouse Weekends where local is the name of the game.  We’ve asked dozens of our favorite community cohorts to help us celebrate our collective ind(ie)pendence with bargain books, free samples, contests, workshops, and more!

From 10:00 A.M.-6:00 P.M.  today, our 6500 sq. ft. warehouse in Somerville will feature some of our favorite purveyors of fine local food, feeding your body while Harvard Book Store feeds your mind.  And did we mention we have 25,000 used, rare and remainder books available for your browsing pleasure?

Our Warehouse is located at 14 Park St. in Somerville, between Somerville Ave. and Beacon St., just outside of Union Square. The closest T stop is Porter Square, on the Red Line, and bus lines #83 and #87 have stops on Somerville Ave. near Park St.

And unlike at most parties… friends of friends are definitely encouraged to bring friends! See you there!

NOTE: We love dogs! But FYI, during Warehouse Weekends, pets aren't allowed in the building. Sorry!
