Literary Masterpieces at Your Fingertips
This bookstore opened in May 2017 and is an easy walking distance from the Inn at Middletown. The beautiful building has high ceilings with tin detail, ample natural light, and a two-story open concourse design that provides a spacious, airy environment for reading and shopping.
The Wesleyan R.J. Julia Bookstore houses approximately 18,000 books, with a special section highlighting authors from the Wesleyan community. In addition to books, the store sells a wide range of both Wesleyan-themed and general apparel and merchandise. The store's quiet lower level evokes a library, with seating areas for exploring new books. This area opens up to seat hundreds of guests for author events and houses the store's textbook department.
