Local Authors and Artisans
One of our five goals for 2022 is to bring more local artists and authors books into our bookstore. Our Kodiak community is incredibly talented. We are thrilled to work with vendors who are just starting out to those who have been in business for years.
We find that our community loves to shop local. When someone shops at the bookstore and they buy a locally made gift then their investment in the community is recycled again and again greatly benefiting our town.
