Support our Bookstore
For over twenty five years, Symposia has been held open by the Hoboken community. There are many ways to be part of that, and you're welcome to any of them.
Donate Books
Your shelves clear out, ours fill up. We take gently used books and give them a second life on our shelves or in the hands of the next reader. Find out what we accept and how to drop them off.
Buy Books & Gift Cards
Every book you buy keeps the lights on and the doors open. Browse our shelves, or give a gift card to the reader in your life. Here's how purchases work and where the money goes.
Rent the Space
Need a room for a reading, a workshop, or a celebration? Our space is available for events, and your rental directly supports the store. See rates, capacity, and how to book.
Volunteer
Symposia runs on people who give their time. Whether you can spare an afternoon or want an ongoing role, there's a place for you here. Explore the opportunities and how to apply.
Attend an Event
Our events bring people together through books, ideas, creativity, and conversation. Attending is a meaningful way to support Symposia, and often the way people first discover our community. See upcoming events.
