What started as a pop-up shop at the Wiehle Metro station in 2015 has morphed into one of the area's favorite bookshops with an inviting storefront at Reston Town Center. Reston's Used Book Shop also offers buying and trading, as well as hosts a multitude of events - from a monthly local author series to virtual roundtables. A "literary living room," stacks upon stacks upon stacks of used books immediately surround visitors to this cozy waterfront shop. This beloved shop located on scenic Lake Anne in Reston dates back to 1978 after an original owner had been inspired by a similar concept out west and wanted to bring the joy she felt there to her town of Reston.

This woman-owned independent bookshop located on quaint Church Street in Vienna has quickly become a staple of the community since its opening in 2017. In addition to the bigger retailers like Barnes & Noble (don't miss their new-ish location at Mosaic District), here's where to find some good reads from independent shops in Northern Virginia. Better yet, pick up the latest finds from one of our talented local authors. Grab a warm cup of coffee or tea and curl up with a book that will take you on your next memorable adventure.
