Welcome to Willow Bridge Books!
"A book is a gift you can open again and again." Garrison Keillor
Willow Bridge Books is an independent bookstore located in Oakhurst, California. Nestled between the scenic landscapes of the San Joaquin Valley and Yosemite National Park, the bookstore services the communities of Madera and Mariposa counties.
According to the owner, Monica McClanahan, "individual bookstores cannot survive unless they become deeply involved in the community." Willow Bridge Books's goal is to become a dynamic part of the community and to serve as a 'bridge' between our rural communities and the outside literary and artistic world.
Willow Bridge Books holds the charm of a village shop, with the depth and breadth of the most sophisticated New York emporium. says Chris Stanton, author of Jubilee. "But neither of these is their strongest virtue...that would be the attentive staff and local patrons that give it its' heart."
Take a look at the Bookstore People website where they write about bookstores, review books and discuss literary topics. Be sure to enter Willow Bridge Books into their search and see what they have to say about our store.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by
Kingsolver, Barbara,
Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year,
Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor,
poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on
asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she
and her family try to eat locally as much as they
can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s
Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.”
—Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR |
