Located in the heart of Hamilton, Ontario near McMaster University, Bookmart is an independent bookstore with a big mission: to make reading accessible, exciting, and relevant to today’s diverse readers.

From academic essentials and rare finds to thought-provoking fiction, local authors, and curated collections, we cater to students, scholars, and book lovers of all kinds. Our shelves reflect both classic knowledge and emerging voices from around the globe.

Bookmart isn’t just a bookstore—it’s a community space. Whether you’re hunting for your next great read, attending one of our author events, or sipping coffee at our reading nook, you’ll find a welcoming space that celebrates ideas and discovery.

We also offer a thoughtful selection of gifts, stationery, and literary-themed toys—because we believe the joy of reading extends beyond the page. From journals and pens to puzzles, games, and bookish merchandise, there’s something for every book lover.

We’re proud to be independent, Canadian, and community driven.
