Due to the continued spread of COVID-19, our store in Hyde Park remains closed for in person shopping. We have also suspended the use of our “free box” outside. Powell’s Books Chicago IS open 24/7 at powellschicago.com

If you would like to purchase a book(s), please click Buy a Book (above) for details on how to place an online order or one for curb-side pickup.

So as not to put our staff at risk, we have temporarily modified our book buying process. Please click Buying Policy (above) for details.

If you have other questions, please call the store (773) 955-7780. Staff is available Monday through Saturday between 9am and 3pm. You may also leave a message including your name, number and the reason for your call. We will return your call as soon as possible.

We continue to monitor the situation closely and will open our doors when we know we can do so in a responsible way-one in which the store environment provides the lowest possible risk to our staff and customers. We appreciate your patience.

Be safe/be well. We’ll look forward to seeing you soon!
