Buffalo Street Books is Ithaca's community-owned cooperative bookstore and is located in the DeWitt Mall, in the heart of downtown Ithaca.

The purpose of the Buffalo Street Cooperative at Buffalo Street Books is to provide an excellent bookstore to the community of Ithaca NY and the surrounding area. We believe that independent local bookstores are a valuable community resource and can serve as the heart of a vital and vibrant literary community, as well as the anchor to an economically viable downtown. The members of the Buffalo Street Books Cooperative represent a community dedicated to fostering and supporting literary arts and a love of the written word.
