Years in business: 31
Fun fact: We work closely with local schools, educators, and libraries to foster literacy and a love of reading beyond the store’s walls. We also host Pictures with Santa every weekend during the holidays where the owner gets to be Santa. :)
About our community: Union has a huge multicultural community and our downtown has several restaurants catering to all different cultures including Filipino, Vietnamese, Jamaican, Brazilian, Thai, Peruvian and more.
Some favorite store titles include:
“For more than 30 years, we’ve been a community-centered, LGBTQ+-owned and operated bookstore—the only one in Northern New Jersey. We specialize in diverse, inclusive books for readers of all ages, with a special emphasis on children’s literature.”
