This is great news for book lovers — today I was going down Georgia Avenue and saw some workers putting up a sign for Barnes & Noble at the Howard University Bookstore. It’s at 2225 Georgia Avenue NW, near W and Bryant Streets.
The bookstore already has a website and is replacing the previous HUB Bookstore as the official campus bookstore.
I’ve seen these type of combined university and Barnes and Noble, and they have a wide selection — not just textbooks. They’re open Monday-Saturday, closed Sundays.
Pretty great to see a proper bookstore in the area, I plan to check it out soon. In fact, a bookstore was one of the things mentioned in a previous “What We’re Missing” post. (See all the What We’re Missing posts here.)
