Welcome to Midlothian Book Exchange!

In October of 2020 Dorryce and Caroline bought the 30+ year old bookstore from the Kerby Family, the original owners. Thanks in part to the community, estimated 175,000 half priced books and 7200 square feet of space, the store has become one of the best used bookstores in the Mid-Atlantic.

Dorryce and Caroline have always had a passion for books and are excited to share their passion with others. It is their pleasure to continue the traditions of the Midlothian Book Exchange and be part of this amazing community. Our mission is to make used books, encompassing a wide range of categories, available to readers of all ages. Our books come at affordable prices, in a comfortable and welcoming setting. We hope you will stop by and say hello and see what wonderful treasures you can find. You can stay updated on the exciting things happening at the Midlothian Book Exchange by following us on Facebook and Instagram.

The store looks even better in person. Drop by and say “Hello”!

Hello! I am sending a shout out to Midlothian Book Exchange, their awesome ownership, and amazing staff. When Hanover Books had a serious, unfortunately incident, the Midlothian Book Exchange called and offered to drive over and help with the cleanup. That kindness shall always be remembered. Thank you again.

Such a lovely experience! From the moment we entered, we were greeted with friendly hellos, helpful tips and accommodations, and explanations of the way the exchange works. Plus, it was a special day - Bookstore Romance Day - and they had sweetly wrapped Blind Date with a Book offerings available, a treasure hunt, regency romance grab bags and more! Enjoyed finding some Shakespeare (of course!) and some other goodies. I’ll be back - with a bag of my own books to exchange of course! Definitely a must-see for all book lovers! 📚❤️
