It Takes a Village Books: Building Community, One Book at a Time
Long-time community members and local business owners Chuck and Dee Robinson recount the history of Village Books, its growth from a small 'mom and pop' store to a two-location enterprise employing fifty people, its broad engagement in the community, and its transition to three new owners in January of 2017. They also talk about their decision to leave the business records to the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies as part of that legacy.
