Since 1973, Bear Pond Books has been a cornerstone of downtown Montpelier. We offer a wide range of new and used general interest books and a spacious second floor Children's Room. We are an integral part of the community and strive to be a destination where readers of all ages are socially engaged, intellectually inspired, and entertained through great books and literary experience. We pride ourselves on our well-curated selection of books, dedicated staff, and exceptional customer service. Whether you come to check out the Bestsellers, the Staff Picks, or to say hello to Veruca the Russian Tortoise upstairs, we have something for you. Discover Something Wonderful.
