As a small, independently-owned business, our hours may vary a bit if we need to take a sick day, spend time with family, or go out of town for a few days. In the winter, we may also close due to inclement weather. All schedule changes will be posted here on our website, as well as on Facebook and Instagram. If you're making a special trip to see us, thank you! But please check our website ahead of time for any changes to our schedule.

Our address is: 7 North Street, Middletown, NY 10940

We’re centrally located in downtown Middletown at the intersection of North Street and East Main (Franklin Square), next to Run 4 Downtown Park.

For driving directions, we recommend Google Maps.

Yes! In November 2024, we moved from our original location on Wickham Avenue to our current storefront at 7 North Street in downtown Middletown.

Our address may be different, but we're proud to offer the same great selection and service in our new home! Our store hours and donation policy remain the same, and any store credit and/or gift cards obtained prior to our move will still work in our new location.

Street parking is available across from the store on the south-bound side of North Street. You can also park in the municipal lots located on East Main Street, South Street, or James Street (near the DMV).

More information about parking downtown can be found on the Middletown BID website.

Yes! As a primarily used bookstore, we rely on your donations and appreciate your generosity. However, there are some restrictions on what we can accept due to our limited storage capacity.

Most of our used books are available in store only, but select titles can also be found on our eBay page.

For new books, we’ve teamed up with Bookshop.org to bring new releases directly to your door, or you can find over 400,000 audiobooks on Libro.fm. Purchases made through these links directly support our store.

Yes! We're happy to work with you to fulfill a large order, and offer discounts for items purchased in bulk. Just send us an email at hello@wellwornbooks.com to get started.

We would love to give to every local organization that asks. However, we receive an overwhelming number of requests for donation and as a small, family-owned business, we have very limited funds available. Priority will be given to literacy organizations and local community members who support our store. Requests for donations can be emailed to hello@wellwornbooks.com; however, we may not be able to grant every request. Thank you for your understanding.

Yes! "Indie" just means independent and locally owned. We're a true family-run business with no corporate overlords, no greedy investors, and no plans to colonize space. We're just here to read and connect with our neighbors in the local community. You can find us, and other independent bookstores, on IndieBound.org
