When the previous neighborhood bookstore closed its doors, the community pulled together and the Queen Anne Book Company was born. The launch of the store just five years ago was a true grassroots effort involving local residents, industry professionals, and book lovers everywhere. And it’s quickly become a city staple and favorite hangout for the Queen Anne community. Queen Anne Book Company loves kids and employs a dedicated kids’ buyer to bring the latest and greatest teen, middle grade and picture book recommendations to the shelves. You can feel confident in what your child is reading – whatever level – because the staff reads selections carefully, so they can answer questions about content and age-appropriateness. They are also well-versed in all books and genres and can recommend a great series or a riveting read-aloud the whole family will enjoy. For the beginning readers in your crew, there is a wide variety of picture books to introduce them to the wonderful world of books.
Bonus: Just two blocks away, you’ll find the West Queen Anne Playfield. Before or after a visit to the bookstore, burn some energy off at this six-acre park filled with wide open spaces and a large playground.
