Book Bar opened in 2024 and it's located in Palymra, Pennsylvania.

The bookstore owner, Brittany, always wanted to own her bookstore and pursued that dream in 2023.

She has a curated selection of new books, used books, bookish merch, and a cafe.

The vibes inside are very dark academia.

It has a very distinct feel to it.

Maria V. Snyder who wrote Poison Study and so many other novels is local to central Pennsylvania and had a shelf!

I'd visited right before the store officially opened and it was nice to see how it'd grown.
