About Westport Book Shop
Westport Book Shop, a nonprofit used book store, is downtown Westport’s only source for gently used and antiquarian books, vintage vinyl records, CDs, DVDs and audio books. It is located at 23 Jesup Road, right across Jesup Green from the Westport Library.
The Book Shop’s “Drew Friedman Art Place” is an area of the store dedicated to exhibiting the work of community artists year-round, on a rotating basis. Miggs Burroughs, a Trustee of the Drew Friedman Community Arts Center and a founding member of The Artists Collective of Westport, curates these exhibits, which change monthly.
The art exhibit is open to the public during the Book Shop’s business hours: Sundays and Mondays from Noon to 5 pm, and Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 am to 6 pm.
Westport Book Shop, and the Westport Library Book Sales, are operated by Westport Book Sale Ventures, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit enterprise with the dual social mission to provide meaningful employment for adults with disabilities, while raising support for The Westport Library, through used book sales.
In addition to the nonprofit Westport Book Shop, gently used books are also offered for sale online on the company’s website, through its eBay store, and at periodic large book sale events.
