Symposia Bookstore

Symposia Bookstore A not for profit used bookstore and community center in Hoboken, NJ "Symposia is more than a secondhand bookstore.

It's a community meeting place." --The Jersey Journal, March 23, 2006

"If you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't call Hoboken's Symposia a bookstore just because it sells books. In fact, it's more like a community center that provides space for all kinds of activities and a place for people to meet and mingle." --The Jersey Journal, March 2, 2006

"The store accepts donations of all kinds

, including books, money, computers and clothing. Two computers with internet access have been donated to the store. Symposia also hosts many meetings and clubs." --The Hoboken Reporter, February 8, 2004
