Kickstart your winter reading with our 12-day Book Advent Calendar. Each book will be personally selected for you by the Libromancers of Porter Square Books and decorated so you can unwrap one a day for the first twelve days of the advent. (Or whenever you want, we’re not the boss of you.) A great gift for the big reader in your life or a fun treat for yourself. Order by December 1 to guarantee it will be ready for December 13 or by December 11 to guarantee it will be read by December 24. After you have placed your order, we’ll send you a form so you can tell us about your taste in books.
Thanks to a permitting hiccup and the usual trials of moving, we aren’t able to let people into the store this weekend... but there’s nothing to stop us from taking the books OUT! Join us from 11:00AM-5PM, Saturday October 12, Sunday October 13, and Monday October 14 for CART FEST 2024!
Porter Square Books seeks volunteers to participate in a "book chain" next Sunday at 1pm, to start moving books to its new storefront.

Porter Square Books is moving to University Hall (what I think of as Porter Exchange, in a building which was originally a Sears) in October. Their new space will be 40% bigger, and stay open later. They'll have more cafe space too -- but it won't be Cafe Zing, which is staying in the shopping plaza -- instead it will be a new cafe, "Page and Leaf" (another venture by the owners of Diesel, Bloc, and Forge).

Porter Square Books is celebrating its 20th birthday with a move to Lesley University’s University Hall, around 1,000 feet away, with new cafe partners, restaurants as neighbors and potentially even longer weekday hours.
