Barbara's Bookstore has been in Oak Park for decades, and was our largest store for many years. It is in the heart of historic Oak Park, located within close walking distance of the Lake Street movie theater, a variety of quality restaurants, and plenty of shopping.

This Barbara's Bookstore location frequently serves as a venue for events and author appearances. There is always something going on at our Oak Park store!

The store is located on Lake street, just east of Harlem Avenue. There is ample, reasonably priced parking at both metered spots and public lots. If you are taking public transportation, you're in luck! The store is within easy walking distance of the "Harlem" stop on the green line. Just walk a couple of blocks north on Harlem, then a block east on Lake street.
