More Than a Bookstore. A Place for Turning Pages and Building Community.

our story

We’re opening a locally run, non-profit bookstore in the heart of Waconia—a space to gather, explore great reads, and connect with others. Inspired by the town’s growing energy and love for community, this is more than a store—it’s a new kind of third space.
