Regional Booksellers Gather in Bellingham

We were so proud to host booksellers from the Pacific Northwest in April to meet authors and publisher representatives from across the country. For many, this was the first in-person event since 2020 and also their first trip to Bellingham. Everyone delighted in the natural beauty of the region and had a great time reconnecting and celebrating our love of literature.

Troy Joins Us as Store Manager

We're so glad that Troy Luginbill joined us in March. With his knowledge of Lynden both as a resident and as a historian, he's the perfect fit to be the store manager of our Lynden location. If you haven't already, stop by and say hi!

Huge Year of Giving

Habitat For Humanity Work Day

Thank you to our staff who dug, schlepped, and dug some more at the Village Books Build Day. Their team is amazing and their guidance is friendly and fun. This was the icing on top of the cake of a record RoundIt-Up contribution from Village Books and Paper Dreams of $5000!

As ever, between sponsorships, donations, creative partnerships, and you, our customers, we've contributed to the success of many dozens of organizations throughout Whatcom County that, in turn, do amazing things for our community. We're all in this together!
