We opened our doors with a simple goal: to create a space where everyone feels safe, seen, and inspired. Lakeside Bookshop is a gathering place for readers, artists, and neighbors. It is a place to celebrate creativity, spark conversations, and build community. We believe in the power of stories and the importance of supporting local, which is why we proudly feature books, art, and goods from local authors, artists, creators, and small businesses. This is more than a bookstore. It is a space for all of us.
We’re Maria and Audrea, two book lovers from different backgrounds who came together with a shared dream: to open an indie bookstore that feels warm, welcoming, and connected to our community.
Audrea is a speech pathologist whose work has shown her just how powerful words and stories can be. She brings that same love of language and communication into curating books that inspire curiosity, joy, and connection for readers of all ages.
Maria was previously an assistant general manager at a trampoline park. With her background, Maria learned the art of building fun, inviting spaces for families and friends. Audrea shares that same vision for creating a place where people genuinely want to spend time.
Together, we made Lakeside Bookshop. It's more than just a store. It’s a cozy corner for book lovers, a gathering spot for the community, and a place where every reader, from toddlers to lifelong bookworms, can find something to love on our shelves with you.
