About Us
Townie Books is located adjacent to Rumors Coffee and Tea House in downtown Crested Butte. We opened in June of 2011. We offer the newest titles in fiction and non-fiction as well as an extensive selection of children's books and books with Colorado specific themes. Journals, games, puzzles, maps and other supplemental gifts are also a specialty of Townie Books. The cafe adds a cozy inviting atmosphere to enjoy browsing the books, sipping some tea or surfing the web. We also host special events like book signings, readings, poetry night and live music.
Our Mission Statement:
We believe in readers. We believe in books. We believe in the power of the written word. We believe in the magic of children discovering the world of books. We believe in this community. We believe that people prefer buying books from their friendly neighborhood bookstore rather than a website. We believe in browsing for hours with a good cup of tea. We believe in staying up until 2 in the morning because you just can’t put a book down. We believe in book clubs, libraries, and reading under trees. We believe that some books you make your friends read and some books you should keep under your bed and never tell anyone about. We believe in making a difference through books.
