Extended Hours for the Fall

We are open for browsing! Please continue to wear a mask - River Bend is a safe space for kids.

Our booksellers are thrilled to welcome you back into the shop. Our top priority is making the shop safe and accessible for children, and we are asking all who enter to mask up.

New for Fall, we will be open until 6pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!

Online orders and curbside pick up are still available, and welcome. We appreciate you continuing to shop with us in any manner you are comfortable, and we look forward to welcoming you into the shop when you are ready.

And be sure to look for the River Bend Book Truck at events around Glastonbury and surrounding towns!

Media Mail Increase

The US Postal Service increased prices for Media Mail, effective August 29, 2021.

The majority of our shipments are sent by USPS Media Mail. The base price for a package is increasing by 34 cents, to $3.99. Our site calculates Media Mail rates based on the number of units ($3.99 for the first book, plus $1.15 for each additional unit.) If actual shipping cost is less than the price our site calculates we refund the difference. Media Mail is available for orders containing only books, and will not appear as an option if you are ordering apparel, puzzles, or other gift items.
