Village Books is a community-based, independent bookstore and gift shop located in the Historic Fairhaven Village on the southside of Bellingham . Since 1980, we have been “building community one book at a time.” Village Books and Paper Dreams is a place to meet your friends, talk books, or just while away an hour or two among our shelves or at Evolve Chocolate + Cafe deliciously perched on the mezzaine of Village Books in Fairhaven, overlooking the Village Green. If you’re in the neighborhood come on in to explore!
