Locally our mission is to create community. We do this by providing a space for people to gather and reasons for people to gather (great coffee, interesting books, wifi, live music, book clubs, knitting & sketching clubs).
Globally we reach out through our website to make an impact in our world through our Read for Good program. We contribute 10% of your website book purchase proceeds to your favorite charity.
The Heart and Soul of Montague
The Book Nook & Java Shop has been the heart and soul of downtown Montague since 2002.
We offer the most current New York Times bestsellers as well as intriguing “new finds” to ensure a stimulating book-shelf perusal every time you visit. Whether you are looking for a popular new fiction read, current events, a cook book or children’s books we’re sure you will be delighted in our appealing selections. If you can’t find what you are looking for on our shelves you can select from our over 40,000 titles on our website or have a staff member special order the book for you.
Join friends, surf the web, or curl up in a comfy chair with a book while you enjoy a hot beverage from our espresso bar. We also boast a delicious selection of fresh pastries, teas & smoothies.
The Book Nook & Java Shop is a hot spot for live music on Friday and Saturday evenings with local musicians presenting a variety of styles from rock to folk or blues. The last Saturday of the month is "Open Mic Night" where you are likely to experience an array of talent from storytelling, poetry, prose to live music. The first Wednesday night of the month is Classical Music night.
The Book Nook & Java Shop has the reputation of being a “must visit” location for touring best-selling authors. Be sure to check our calendar of events frequently for upcoming author events and all of our exciting happenings.
Remember...shop local first. The economy within your community depends on you.
