Village Books and Paper Dreams is a cherished, independent bookstore and gift shop nestled in Historic Fairhaven Village and the iconic Waples Mercantile Building in Lynden, WA. Since 1980, we’ve been “building community one book at a time,” offering a welcoming space to connect over literature or unwind at The Next Chapter Café. Co-owners Paul, Kelly, and Sarah continue Chuck and Dee Robinson's legacy by providing a thoughtfully curated selection of books, engaging community programs, and delightful gifts, all while fostering a love for reading in our vibrant neighborhoods.
