The Gallows Hill Bookstore was an academic bookstore that opened in Hallden Hall in September, 1991. Operated by Barnes and Noble's College Division, the bookstore's name was entered into a contest by both Matthew Burfeind '92 and Assistant Professor of Political Science and Public Policy John Gillroyboth.

A large group of Trinity faculty, students, and administrators worked to create the bookstore as part of the Bookstore Committee: Associate Academic Dean J. Ronald Spencer '64, Dean of Students David Winer, Professor of Economics Diane Zannoni, Director of Mather Hall Anne Gushee, Business Manager and Budget Director Alan Sauer, and Director of Facilities Planning and Management John Woolley, Assistant Professor of Theater Arthur Feinsod, Julienne Coe '92, and Jonathan Trevisan '93.

The esoteric bookstore featured academic books in various disciplines, including Classical Studies, Theater and Plays, Poetry, Gender Studies, LGBTQ+, Education, Health, Psychology, Nature, Architecture, Mathematics and Engineering, Computers, Religion, Native American Studies, Latin American Studies, Literary Biography, Music, Dance, Business and Anthropology.

Despite its academic focus, the bookstore was open daily and on weekends and was intended for the public, carrying over 15,000 titles, and even boasted a children's room. The exposed brick 400-square-foot space was once used as the campus' computer center, but was renovated during the summer of 1991 for the purposes of opening the bookstore. The space, once filled with computers and desks, was re-filled with cozy and antique furniture, toys, and bookcases.

Gallows Hill Bookstore was open until at least 2009.
