Transformations continue at the restaurant on the mezzanine of Village Books and Paper Dreams in Fairhaven. When it opens later this summer, Evolve Chocolate + Café, co-owned by Chef Christy Fox and Shannon Fox, will offer an array of sweets, sips and savories in the cozy, renovated space tucked among the bookshelves, overlooking the Village Green and Bellingham Bay. Check out the fresh new colors, sleek counter and beautiful floors next time you visit. Grand opening events will be announced! Watch this space and our social media. 

Village Books and Paper Dreams is proud to introduce Round It Up, our amazingly simple giving program created to support local nonprofits! Each season, we'll feature a different nonprofit partner that will benefit when you choose to Round It Up, increasing your purchase to the nearest dollar. The non-profit will receive the Round It Up difference. As you pay for your purchase, just tell your Village Books or Paper Dreams sales associate that you'd like to Round It Up for local nonprofits, and we'll take it from there. Our current featured nonprofit is the Whatcom Humane Society!

Village Books and WCC Community and Continuing Education have created a writing instruction collaboration called Chuckanut Writers. Writing classes, seminars, and conferences (including the amazing Chuckanut Writers Conference) will inspire and encourage writers at all stages of their writing journey.
