Welcome to Adventure Bound Books!
Welcome to Adventure Bound Books!
We've been creating community through stories since 2018 and we're glad you've found us. We're a bit different than many retail spaces you're probably familiar with. We aim to disrupt mainstream expectations of retail stores and strive to influence positive social change in our community. We believe in reading and having access to diverse stories; that tolerance is simply not sufficient; that you, reader, are worthy and wonderful. We aim to offer a space where all are welcome and feel loved and affirmed. At the core of what we do, Adventure Bound Books is more than just a retail space where books are sold and purchased. We strive to create and maintain a safe space for all readers in our community. We believe that all readers should have access to books that feature characters that "look like them" in whatever way that matters to the reader and that tell stories that readers can identify with, as well as stories that readers can learn from. When we read stories about characters like us, we are affirmed and learn that we can be the heroes in our own stories. When we read stories about characters who are different than us, we develop empathy. We partner with local groups and schools to support the freedom to read and students' rights to have access to diverse books.
