The Garden of Readin’

Specialties

The Garden of Readin’ is a used book shop located in the heart of historic Edenton, NC. We have books in every genre, for children and adults, from current bestsellers to antiquarian and rare — plus prints, movies, music and audio books — presented in a clean, tranquil, well-​organized and sunny space.

We are proud of our generous trade-​in program, which allows our customers who have brought in items to receive 50% off on their purchases. And we can sell your more valuable items on consignment.

We also offer a wide selection of delicious organic, free trade certified teas (hot & iced), coffee & cocoa prepared to order by the cup or pot. Free WiFi.

History

Established in 2009.

The Garden of Readin’ began life as a small sideline inside a local coffee shop, but over several years we completely outgrew our space there. We renovated a building around the corner and opened for business here on February 18, 2013.
