A Poulsbo bookseller
is giving Bremerton readers the best gift they could hope for.
Liberty Bay Books, which operated a pop-up bookstore on Pacific Avenue for the last three months, has decided to stick around town.
Owner Suzanne Droppert said
the response from Bremerton shoppers during the holiday season
was encouraging.
“We received a really warm welcome for everyone who stopped in,” Droppert said in an email Monday.
Liberty Bay Books will remain at 409 Pacific Ave. at least through January, while looking for a permanent home downtown.
Droppert said the landlord is looking for a tenant to lease the Liberty Bay Books space and an adjacent suite together, which is more room than the bookstore needs. When a new tenant is found, Liberty Bay Books will move to another location.
The Bremerton Liberty Bay Books store will begin hosting events and clubs early in the New Year.
You can find updates on the Liberty Bay Books Facebook page.

This is great news for Bremerton! Having a local independent bookstore is a litmus test for many deciding where to live. Thank you, Liberty Bay!
