Barnes & Noble is opening a store in Keene, N.H., this Wednesday, July 9. The store is located in Monadnock Marketplace at 32 Ash Brook Road in the space formerly occupied by Bed, Bath & Beyond, next to Ulta.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. features New Yorker cover artist and author Harry Bliss, who will sign copies of his books, including You Can Never Die: A Graphic Memoir (Celadon Books).
B&N CEO James Daunt noted that this is "our third brand-new Barnes & Noble in New Hampshire, having opened new bookstores in Seabrook last year and in West Lebanon in 2023. Our Keene booksellers have been hard at work preparing a bookstore built for browsing and tailored to their community."
