Anderson's Bookshop

Anderson's Bookshop is one of the oldest continuously operating bookstores in the United States, having served the Naperville community since 1875 when the town was a small farming village west of Chicago. Today the store is a cornerstone of Naperville's vibrant downtown, drawing readers from across the western suburbs with its broad selection and legendary author events program. The staff's expertise spans every genre, and their personal recommendations have launched countless reading journeys. The children's section is a destination in its own right, staffed by booksellers who can match any young reader with the perfect title. Anderson's hosts hundreds of author events each year, from debut novelists to literary superstars, and the community's enthusiastic turnout has made the store a must-stop on national book tours. The store's longevity reflects a deep understanding that bookselling is ultimately about building relationships between readers and stories.
