Big Blue Marble Bookstore

Founded in 2005 in the Mt. Airy neighborhood of Northwest Philadelphia, Big Blue Marble prides itself on our collections of diverse titles for our diverse, progressive community. We specialize in literary fiction, poetry, LGBTQ+ books for kids, teens, and adults, #ownvoices, #weneeddiversebooks, and feminist-centric science fiction and fantasy. In 2022 we created a cozy second floor reading room and renovated our kids' room.
