The Vermont Bookstore Tour was hatched by The ​Vermont Bookshop in Middlebury as a way to spread ​indie bookstore love. It’s been championed by ​bookstores around the state to introduce people to ​all our unique bookstore personalities. Every indie ​bookstore has its own vibe, which is just one reason ​they are so fun to visit and explore!


Travel around our beautiful state to discover them all!

On behalf of ​Vermont Indie ​Bookstores

Friends Reading a Book Together

Thank you for choosing to buy your books ​from independent bookstores, because if ​you love visiting indies and want to keep ​doing so, we need to sell books!


To find an indie near you visit Indie Bound.


Or shop at Bookshop.org, which ships ​directly to you and profit-shares with ​indies nationwide. (Or open your own ​bookshop!)


Audiobook reader? Libro.fm also profit ​shares with indies, and you actually own ​the audio files you purchase.


Buy books from people who love books and ​don’t care about launching rocketships.
