In a world of easy online shopping, the art of browsing is lost. Physical shelves invite the spark of spontaneous intrigue — and that’s how the staff at Bookworks in Whitefish curates the aisles so customers may find such a pleasant surprise.
And many have appreciated the store’s tight layout, which leads one from books to unique gift wrapping to a very broad array of sentiment cards.
Owner Cheryl Watkins has been selling books since 1996 when she acquired the store from Mary Pat Love, who ran the same shop beginning in the early 1970s. The store moved to its current location just off Spokane Avenue in 2000.
