The Claremont Forum
Since 1985, the Claremont Forum has been bringing people together around the things that matter most: good food, great books, local art and a community that looks out for one another.
We do that through our Sunday Claremont Farmers & Artisans Market, our Bookshop in the Claremont Packing House, and though the Prison Library Project, one of the nation's largest books-to-prisoners programs.
Our Programs
Farmers & Artisans Market
A market with a mission. Every Sunday from 8 AM to 1 PM in Claremont Village, you'll find fresh produce, local farms, and handcrafted goods — and every purchase helps fund the Prison Library Project.
Prison Library Project (PLP)
Every week, more than 500 letters arrive at our Claremont bookshop from incarcerated readers across the country — each one a request for a book. The Prison Library Project has been answering those letters since 1973.
Forum Bookshop
A great place to find your next favorite read - whether you're a student, a collector, or just someone who loves books. We have a great selection of books at affordable prices, some as low as a dollar, plus greeting cards, bookmarks, and journals. Every purchase supports the Prison Library Project.
