Mary L. Quinton Bookstore

In 2020, the Friends opened its bookstore doors in the new Tufts library.
Today, the bookstore is open five days a week and you can find adult, young adult, and children’s books, CDs, DVDs in the store.

We charge $3 for adult hardbacks, $2 for trade paperbacks, $1 for small paperbacks and children’s hardcovers, and $0.50 for children’s paperbacks. We also host a book sale the third week of every month on a specific genre. New inventory arrives on Mondays, so make sure you check it out often.
