Source of Knowledge Book Store

Source of Knowledge is a gem in the heart of Newark! Very pleasant and helpful owners and staff. Great selection of up-to-date books by black authors for adults and teenagers, as well as beautifully illustrated books for children. They also have a selection of musical instruments and artwork! If they don't have it, they will order it for you. Please support Black owned businesses. I highly recommend this business and experience!

The premier Bookstore for Information, History and Community!

I have been going to this book store since I was in high school. It's awesome. There's a book club and more activities plus art and decor for your home. You must visit the store for yourself to see how awesome it is.

Their selection of BIPOC children's books is extensive! What a lovely store and a great find! Their books are largely focused on Black authors and topics of the African diaspora. Wonderful collection of art, which though a bit pricy, could make a great signature piece in your home. The people who work here are very nice.

One of the few and possibly the longest running Black owned bookstores in NJ. They recently expanded and have even more wonderful options to shop. They have a deep selection of classic children's books as well.
