Watchung Booksellers is Montclair's favorite community bookstore, founded in 1991 by Kathy Linsk. The bookstore, which is located above Bradner's Pharmacy, specializes in general collections of fiction, nonfiction, biography, and history volumes, with a focus on educational titles, travel books, and poetry and arts selections. Books are chosen carefully to reflect the character and values of the Montclair community, with input from local readers. The works of more than 60 published local authors are showcased on the bookstore's shelves, making it an important home base for New Jersey's literary community. A charming children's room offers family reading spaces and a lively Teen Corner. Special events hosted throughout the year at the store include poetry readings, children's storytime events, book groups, and author signings.
