BOOKLOFT

The Bookloft was founded in 1976 by Rich and Judy Wandschneider who recognized that Wallowa County could use a place for book lovers to commune. After creating a mainstay for the county, they sold the store to Mary Swanson in 1988. Mary created an oasis and a haven for book lovers and coffee aficionados in Wallowa County and beyond, but, after 32 years, Mary was ready for retirement. The county is lucky that Mary has not gone far but enjoying her retirement nearby where we continue to benefit from her knowledge and good nature. By chance and good fortune, she found two people who were eager for the opportunity to try to continue to provide a welcoming space for all.
