Flintridge Bookstore

Flintridge Bookstore has been a beloved gathering place for the foothill communities of La Canada Flintridge, La Crescenta, and Montrose since 1985, offering a carefully curated selection that reflects the neighborhood's intellectual curiosity and family-centered values. The store's proximity to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has fostered an unusually strong science and space exploration section, with JPL scientists regularly stopping in for the latest titles and occasionally staying to give impromptu talks. The children's department is legendary in the San Gabriel Valley, with a dedicated story-time area that has introduced three generations of local kids to the joy of reading. Out back, a small reading garden with views of the San Gabriel Mountains provides a peaceful retreat for browsing. The store's annual holiday book fair is one of the most anticipated events in the community calendar.
