UNION COUNTY, NJ — The Barnes & Noble located in Clark announced on its Instagram it will be closing in June.

After 24 years on 1180 Raritan Road in Clark, the bookstore said it will be closing its doors on June 19 due to its landlord opting now to renew the lease. But this may not be goodbye forever.

"We have loved being a part of this community and are actively looking for a new location, hoping before too long to return close to [Clark] with a new bookstore," the store wrote in its Instagram post Wednesday.
