Short Stories Bookshop & Community Hub is an independent community bookshop and arts and culture hub in charming, vibrant downtown Madison, New Jersey. Launched as a social entrepreneurship venture by Barb Short and her daughters in 2014 and Kickstarted by the community, we sit as a gateway into the heart of downtown Madison and into community experience and creative expression. Across from the town's indie coffee shop, top 100 jazz club, and historic crafts museum, we're walking distance from the NYC train, local schools and universities, great shops and restaurants, and an award-winning regional theatre.
