Our Mission

The mission of the Chatham Bookstore is to provide a comfortable destination for browsing, learning, exploring and connecting. We are committed to enriching lives by sharing our love and appreciation for books and learning. We believe in personally selecting books and other merchandise that readers of all ages will enjoy and find worthwhile. We hope to continue growing in community, learning more about what our customers want every day, and adjusting our selection accordingly. We acknowledge that we are stewards of the bookstore, and are committed to extending its legacy by honoring the books that we sell and the community we serve.
