Directions

From the South
Take exit 13 from Interstate 93. A left from the ramp will put you on South Main Street. Go about a mile, through three traffic lights, and Gibson’s will be on your right. If you get to Pleasant Street, you’ve gone one block too far.
From the North
Take Exit 14 from Interstate 93. Take a right onto Bridge Street and move into the left hand lane for a left turn onto Main Street. Go about ½ miles, through the traffic light at Pleasant Street, and Gibson’s will be on your left, one block down.
From the East
Either take Route 101 to Interstate 93 and follow the directions above from the South, or take Route 4 until it ends in 393, take a left onto Main Street, and go 1 ½ miles until you see Gibson’s on the left. We are one block south of Pleasant Street.
From the West
If you’re coming down Interstate 89, drive until it meets Interstate 93 and travel north, following the directions from the south above. From 202/9, merge with 89 South and do the same.

Parking
Parking has historically been an issue on South Main Street, but we now have plenty of spaces to offer. There is often on-street parking right in front or across the street, and if there is not, there is always room in the new Capitol Commons parking facility directly behind us. The entrance is at 75 Storrs Street, one block to the east.

The second floor of this parking garage exits directly onto South Main Street, the south exit next to Gibson's, the north exit one building away.
If you tried the garage and hated it, try it again! They've gotten rid of the entrance gate that drove everyone crazy.

New books, new trailers

Howard Frank Mosher, a beloved American novelist and winner of the 2011 New England Independent Booksellers Association's President's Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts, returns with a memoir that is both a chronicle of his recent 100-city book tour across America and a reflection on his development as a writer. Mr. Mosher will be at Gibson's Bookstore for a reading and signing on Thursday April 19th, 2012, at 7 p.m. Enjoy this slideshow, from his cross-country trip.

Newsletter

What kind of sidelines/gift items would you like to see at Gibson's? Plus upcoming author events. May 9th, 2012
A lot of bookstores look more like gift shops now. Gibson's will never go very far in that direction, but it's true we could do a LOT MORE with non-book items. 
What would you like to see us add when we move into a larger space next year? A broader line of greeting cards? More funny gift items? (We know where to get The Funny, and it isn't well represented downtown.)  Should we have a serious stationery section--elegant (but not too expensive) paper and writing materials? How about educational materials, toys, games, more stuff for kids?
We'll have room for a lot of new lines. Please let us know what you think--what directions you'd like to see our non-book inventory move in--what products you'd love to see downtown. Email me with your thoughts. Thank you!
