Pet Friendly Bookstores
As an animal lover and author, this Fourth of July I find myself thinking of two great loves - pets and books. With the summer beach reading season upon us, I thought it would be fun to celebrate bookstores who welcome animals. If you know a pet friendly bookstore, let me know. I will compile a list and publish it on this blog in the future.
A great bookstore is a wonderful gift to a community. It is a place of learning, exploration and discovery. It is also a place for us to gather as and celebrate community. Since pets transform our lives it makes sense that well-behaved animals be part of the social experience of bookstores. When we return home with a new book, I submit there is nothing more tranquil than having a cat in my lap while I open the first page. So, let's create a list of all the great bookstores who welcome animals! I will start the list with:
Changing Hands, Tempe, Arizona
Bookends, Kailua, Hawaii
Valley Bookseller, Stillwater, Minnesota
HearthFire Books, Evergreen, Colorado
Wild Rumpus, Minneapolis, Minnesota
The Next Page Bookstore & Tea Bar, Frisco, Colorado

In the UK there are very little stores that welcome pets, however, if you get out of the cities into the country side then it is different. In our town of Bovey Tracey in Devon there are many small book stores that allow pets in there with you and there is nothing nicer than browsing books with your pet and then finding one and heading into a nearby pub for a drink and read with your pet - because the pubs and bars also welcome your pet.
