It’s been a busy season for Marnie’s Books. 

Marnie Andrews explained, “It’s really fun to have a bookstore on Cortes Island. There’s some amazing readers here. I get so many of my titles because friends come in and recommend what they’ve been reading. There’s a lot of regular people, but I think a lot of people came west because of all the wildfires. It’s been a great bookstore season, people are reading like crazy. They want real books.” 

A young customer named Devran was perusing the contents of a nearby shelf, “It’s very nice to have a bookstore on the island.  I can walk in, look at the books and pick what I want. I also like that I can order books from here.”
