210 Lopez Rd
Lopez Island, WA 98261
In 1987, owner Phyllis M Potter had just completed her Masters in Library and Information Science at University of Washington and was poised to pursue a career in academic library Reference. Phyllis had spent summers on Lopez since the mid 60's, and had commuted from the island while acquiring this most recent degree. Late that spring, as employment options were being negotiated around the country, the tiny existing island bookstore came up for sale... and the future was suddenly rewritten! Over the intervening years the bookstore selection has grown exponentially. In Spring 2006, when it was barely possible to squeeze through the bookcrowded aisles, a move was made to a lovely, larger well lighted space next door. Currently Islehaven Books offers a wide variety of adult fiction and non-fiction, in addition to large Children/Young Adult sections. Regional titles and mysteries are specialties as well.
