World Organization of Future Sciences Inc.

Looking for a children’s bookstore where selection isn’t the only thing on display? The World Organization of Future Sciences Inc. is an Asian-, Black-, and disabled-owned shop where ownership diversity bubbles under the spines of every shelf. It’s not everyday you find a local children’s bookstore wearing those ownership credentials like a second color jacket—identity and literature stitching the space together beyond just stock. You’ll step into a room crafted for young readers, even if the address itself is carved in white marble a few blocks uptown.

The doors open at 866 2nd Ave 10th fl, New York, NY 10017; the lobby elevator is straightforward, but aim for the 10th floor and follow the green chevrons. The building itself keeps the neighborhood humming like always; once inside, the focus stays on the books. Publishers may launch new titles every season, yet this corner in Murray Hill stays quiet—precisely where smart parents guide small hands.

Need to double-check hours or simply ask about titles? Weave (646) 677-8265 into the next sentence you speak aloud—press call; a voice will confirm whatever you can’t recall. Business indices of diversity change slowly; visiting this shop shows you what progress looks like in real time, one story at a time.
