CRANBURY — After 39 years in a historic Victorian house at 54 N. Main St., The Cranbury Bookworm is moving on up. Up the street, that is.
According to a bookstore employee Thursday, the building the Bookworm currently calls home is being sold so the bookstore is relocating to a new building further up the street.
The employee could not provide an exact address but said that the store’s new home would likely be somewhere in the vicinity of the 70s on North Main Street.
The Cranbury Bookworm currently stocks more than 100,000 books, including rare, autographed, out-of-print and first editions.
According to its website, the Cranbury Bookworm opened its doors in 1974. at 54 North Main Street.
Founder Ralph Schremp, the late owner and proprietor of the Bookworm, developed his love of books in the 1960’s.
Mr. Schremp, who passed away in 2002, began selling books in the early 1970’s with his father, according to the website.
It is open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 12 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
