What is our Mission?
Connecting people with the books they need/want in their lives to help them on their individual paths, and reducing waste.
What about Sustainability?
We strive to use secondhand goods and partner with local businesses only to create the unique, individualistic style of the bookstore: carpenters, craftspeople, writers and poets, lecturers, photographers, artists, musicians. We invest in the community in which we live and do business. We support local authors.
