The Claremont Forum is a unique used book store that's located in the Packing House, a former warehouse that has been converted into trendy boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries. "The Forum" is a very special place to come and find used books. It's sponsored by a non-profit organization that was formed in 1985. The purpose of "The Forum" is to promote individual and social well-being through education, the arts and wellness programs. One of the main works of the group is the national Prison Books Project it created. This bookstore is a result of the program where all of the sales from this shop go towards providing education through books at state prisons in America.
