WHO WE ARE

Hive Mind Books is a traveling independent bookstore selling quality new and secondhand books online and at pop-ups and book fairs in New York and New Jersey. We curate across all genres.

You can read about our values here.

Owner and founder Julie Wernersbach has been in books for nearly two decades as an independent bookseller and festival organizer in Austin, Long Island, and New York City. She is committed to the accessibility of literature, which is why you’ll always find a box of free books at Hive Mind events, and also committed to supporting queer and trans writers and readers.
