BURR RIDGE, IL — Barbara's Bookstore in Burr Ridge has moved, but not far. The store recently celebrated its grand reopening at 770 Village Center Drive, a few doors down from its previous spot, 810 Village Center Drive.
The new location features hardwood floors and paint pallet, giving it a "quaint, homey" feeling, according to the village government's weekly newsletter. "Barbara's Bookstore has always been an anchor in the Village Center, supporting and participating in village events and programs since they opened," the newsletter said.
Founded in 1963, the Barbara's Bookstores chain has seven stores, all but one in Illinois. Three are in Chicago, including at O'Hare International Airport, and another three are in the suburbs, Burr Ridge, Glenview and Vernon Hills. The out-of-state store is in Boston. The Burr Ridge location can be reached at 630-920-1500.
