About Us

We Love Stories

Auburn Oil Co. Booksellers is proud to be downtown Auburn’s local independent bookstore. Located in the heart of downtown, our bookshop offers bestsellers, classics, local specialty items, cards, gifts, and novelties for book lovers. Our booksellers read first, recommend second. Our baristas love coffee just as much as they love books. And we all love stories. We believe that stories don’t just come wrapped in book jackets. Sometimes they’re bottled in a wine, roasted in a bean, baked in a muffin, woven into a tea towel, or created in a moment. That’s why we’re more than just a bookstore. If you’ve found your way here, we’re willing to bet you love stories too.
Here’s ours.

It matters. Truly. Your support makes a world of difference to more than just the bookstores themselves. If you’re interested, we’ve pulled together some easy ways for you to support indie bookstores, as well as reading material for why it matters for both the local community and literary industry as a whole.
