History
The Otto Bookstore has been a cornerstone of the Williamsport community for nearly two hundred years. Our knowledgeable staff has served generations of readers with their recommendations to help match the right book to the right person with a wide selection of both local and national authors. Today, the Otto Bookstore is the oldest independently owned bookstore in the country and one of the five oldest bookstores in the United States, continuing a proud tradition of serving Williamsport and the greater Lycoming area.
