Open Door Bookstore

The best little book and gift shoppe is on Jay St in Schenectady. Also, lots of dining now and other boutique shops worth visiting. Go to the Open Door!

My team ordered books for a surprise virtual baby shower for our colleague. They were so accommodating to our requests and really went above and beyond! Thank for for making this such a successful event for us!

I live in Denver, and work at a remote company. I was planning a baby shower for my manager who lived in Schenectady and wanted to support a local business. I contacted them with our order and asked if they could help me with a surprise delivery for the remote baby shower. Not only did they make sure to get every book on our list, they shopped over the phone with me to find other gifts, and then packaged them up so beautifully at no extra cost. On top of that, Kathleen timed the delivery (which was a 20 minute drive for her) so that she would arrive just as the shower started and helped me keep this a surprise. This team really went above and beyond and I am so thankful there are great stores like this in the world still, who will go the extra mile for their customers. Go today and buy a book there! THANK YOU, Open Door Bookstore!

This is so much more than a bookstore! Yes, you'll be overwhelmed with the sheer amount of books to choose from, including new releases, old favorites, children books and books written by local authors but you'll be surprised at how much more you'll discover when stepping foot inside the Open Door! This is a one-stop shop for gifts for anyone regardless of the occasion. Stop in and see what you've been missing!
