Users of the Capital Crescent bike trail, across the street, sometimes stop and relax at the fountain out front. Inside, the store's three airy levels house 175,000 titles in hundreds of categories, including current affairs, fiction, art, and gardening. Although it's big, the store never feels overwhelming. Books are nicely organized, and sofa chairs and reading tables line the aisles and walls. There is also a good collection of books on tape.
Kids can belong to an adventure book club or a mother-daughter club.
The third-floor cafe includes a gallery where each month features a new artist's work. Open daily from 9 am to 11 pm. None Borders in Baileys Crossroads is a massive bookstore. On walking in, you might feel dizzy from the nearly 30-foot ceilings and more than 200,000 titles laid out before you. With seven book clubs and live music every Friday, Borders offers what you expect from a mega bookstore.
