Books on the Square » Independent Bookstore Directory

Since 1992, Books on the Square is the independent bookstore in the heart of historic Wayland Square.

We are Providence’s convenient independent bookseller because we’ve got plenty of free parking directly around the store and along neighboring streets.

• Handicap parking available directly in front of store.
• Four spots reserved in the lot behind the bookstore on Medway Street.
• Free 2 and 3-hour parking along Angell and Medway Streets, Wayland and Elmgrove Avenues.

SNOW/SEVERE WEATHER CLOSINGS

For the safety of our customers and staff, we will be closed whenever the city of Providence implements a parking ban, or when common sense says that the weather is too dangerous to travel in. Book clubs and author events will be cancelled and rescheduled to a later date whenever possible. If weather is questionable, please call (401) 331–9097 to make sure we will be open when you arrive.
