Village Books

Village Books anchors the historic Fairhaven district the way only a great independent bookstore can, with floors of books, a packed events calendar, and the Paper Dreams gift shop woven through it. Readers Corner, Writers Corner, Kids Corner: the store is organized like a promise that everyone leaves with something.

A second location in Lynden carries the same spirit north, but the 11th Street original is a Bellingham institution and one of the state's essential bookstores.
