The Open Book is a used/vintage bookstore and community center located directly across the street from UNK's main campus at 942 24th St. Its goal is to provide a welcoming space where all members of the Kearney community can come to relax, read, engage and interact. We offer space for quiet individual reading, musical and literary presentations, and for friends, clubs, and committees to gather. We gratefully accept donations of well-loved but no longer needed books, while offering patrons the opportunity to find new ones. Our goal is to get books into hands, large and small, and to perpetuate the love that we have for reading. All books and all people are welcome!
"Love this! So good for Kearney. A great place to donate gently used books. I found so many great books for my kiddo. Big fan! They even offered to let our book club meet there! Highly recommend!"
"While going for a walk by the UNK campus, we stopped for coffee at the nearby coffee shop and took a detour to this new book store. Quaint and peaceful, me and my partner were able to explore freely to both our own interests while relaxing in the nice area. It is a little tucked away, and took a bit to find but their selection was immense and their staff was incredibly friendly. Wholly intended to go back soon."
