To Our Customers,
 

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to House of Books, but for now the safety of our staff and of our customers is the primary concern and this means we must close to the public. This includes pick-up options.

We are still taking orders to be shipped! Please browse our webstore and place all orders online.

If you'd like to talk to our staff, a bookseller will be monitoring the phones Wednesday through Sunday from 11am to 5pm.

And please follow us on Instagram and Twitter, we’ll be posting book recommendations. Also, buying gift certificates for friends and relatives is a perfect way to support House of Books.

We want to hear from you! Please let us know how we can best be of service to our community here in Kent and in Northwest Connecticut. Needless to say, we hope to see you soon in the shop.

Thanks to all our customers and we wish everyone well.
 

Best regards,

House of Books Staff
