    Super lovely place with books and zines that you won't find anywhere else in Bloomington. Be sure to check out their free events calendar on the wall across from the front door for upcoming films, talks, and poetry readings.

    Great little non-profit bookstore. Volunteer run, supporting the Bloomington Pages to Prisoners project. They carry a lot of local books on consignment, as well as a variety of popular fiction and nonfiction. They are unique in their selection of zines and other counterculture, anarchist, and queer literature, including books and magazines.
    The front room serves as a free community area and event space. They welcome anyone from the community to make use of their amenities, from college students, to ordinary citizens, to the local homeless population. I have hosted several successful poetry readings there and they are great hosts. I have also bought a lot of books from them, made donations to Pages to Prisoners, and have even sold quite a few poetry books through the store.

    Love the idea of a resale store solely for books

    If they look like they're closed during open hours, try calling the store. Sometimes they forget to flip the sign.

    I have quite a few memories attached to Boxcar. We need more spaces like these.

    I like to support local businesses so, despite their limited selection, I've made an effort to purchases from Boxcar in the past. Today their store hours list them opening at 11am. I waited out front until 1130 and no one showed up. Ill be shopping at Barnes and Nobel in the future.

    This is a nice little used book store. It's not the cheapest used book store around, but it is a non-profit so you can feel good about your purchases. And even then, you can find some great deals too.
