Dreams & Aspirations
Expanding Services
Our immediate desire is to acquire a space of our own in which we can expand our inventory selection and the services we provide. While we are grateful for our retail space, our existence here limits our growth and we aim to break beyond the confines of rental costs and restrictions.
When we first purchased this business in 2023, we both had full-time jobs and a steep learning curve ahead of us. We're two years in, we've wrapped up some things, and we're ready to work towards elevating this business to the next level.
Wish us luck, Village.

Planning and implementing are two wildly different things, but here's the wish list to give you an idea of our interests.
Events & Services (#Goals)
- Professional coffee/tea service
- Expanded lounging space
- Weekly "sidewalk" sales
- Available space for book clubs/events
- Hosted mystery RPG's (we shoot for the stars, folks)
Interested in supporting Village Books?
Here's how you can help!
- Buy a Book!
We sell those, y'know. As well as audiobooks, CD's, DVD's, and Vinyl. Every sale helps.
- Buy a Giftcard!
Wonderful for your known bookworms, or those you're still peer pressuring into the literary field. (Which we encourage, BTW)
- Buy something from our eBay!
Sometimes special, sometimes silly, sometimes more niche than others... We build our shop as often as we can!
- Share our social pages & tell your friends!
New customers are a pleasure to meet, and word of mouth can spread FAST. Grow the Village! Grow it...👹
- Donations, technically...
We are considered a for-profit organization, which means we cannot solicit donations nor are they tax-deductible for the donor. That said, we still receive periodic inquiries and are publishing this as a response. For inventory donations, please read our Trade/Donation Policy page. For cash donations, please reach out via the below form (COMING SOON, SORRY) and we will send you a payment request - or - send money through Venmo to @VillageBooks. The profile name will show as Tristan Gilkey.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support our mission of providing a safe place for the exploration of fantasy and fact. Literacy is essential for a healthy community, and we're doing our absolute best to support it!
