Our Mission
Paperback Shack is more than a used bookstore. We are a community of readers and writers and a creative space filled with open minds and hearts. Paperback Shack supports readers, artists, writers, and others who walk the path less traveled. We are weird, we are introverts, and we are happiest visiting with people of like mind.
Readers of all types of fiction are welcomed. We hope they read what they enjoy and don’t feel stigmatized by society’s opinion of whatever their preferred genre might be. Who cares what other people think! Reading is reading.
And we encourage anyone who has a story to tell, to write it down so others can enjoy it. Write what you love and want to share with others. Do not listen to the critics – they aren’t your audience. Writing is writing (and – as an added bonus – the more you write, the better you get at it).
Yes, we have used books and are a bookstore. We don’t let those two facts completely define us. Paperback Shack is more than a place – it’s a feeling of belonging. When you visit, you will probably meet our owner. Be forewarned: she is always herself – unique, passionate, and maybe a little mad (“we’re all mad here”). Stop by and join in the fun. =)
