Buffalo Street Books

The purpose of the Buffalo Street Cooperative at Buffalo Street Books is to provide an excellent bookstore to the community of Ithaca NY and the surrounding area.  We believe that independent local bookstores are a valuable community resource and can serve as the heart of a vital and vibrant literary community, as well as the anchor to an economically viable downtown.  The members of the Buffalo Street Books Cooperative represent a community dedicated to fostering and supporting literary arts and a love of the written word.

In addition to providing a place to browse and buy a diverse collection of books in the center of downtown Ithaca, Buffalo Street Books provides the community with a place for author readings, musical and theatre events and other community gatherings.  We organize and facilitate literary events including readings, book groups, story time events, writing groups for writers of all ages, professional development workshops for writers and more.  We work extensively with other organizations and businesses in the community, including but not limited to our three local colleges, the library, and the school system to promote a culture of literacy in Ithaca and the surrounding area.
