Welcome to Maria's Bookshop
Maria's Bookshop, on historic Main Avenue in Durango, Colorado, is a locally-owned, independent bookstore featuring regional titles, bestsellers, local authors, guidebooks, cards, journals, toys, games and more. We are staffed by 13 well-read, friendly booksellers and we look forward to helping you find just the right book for you, whether you're shopping online with us or in person.
Thousands of Google eBooks are now available through our website, priced competitively and ready for immediate download now so that you can read electronically and still support your local bookshop.
We had amazing local participation in the first USA World Book Night on April 23rd--so much so that Durango was one of the top 25 towns in the nation, in terms of per capita participation! 38 book givers handed out 760 free books in places ranging from Manna Soup Kitchen to the dog park, the county jail to the Adult Education Center, the Ranch to Steamworks and virtually everywhere in between. Want to get involved in Worold Book Night 2013? Sign up for their newsletter and find out more. Thanks to all our amazing participants!
Local Authors--the application process for the 3rd Annual Durango Public Library Literary Festival is now open. If you would like to share your work with the community at the Local Authors' Fair on Saturday, September 29th, please submit your application by July 1st.
Thank you for visiting with us!
