We are a local, independent bookstore located in historic
downtown Bozeman. Our goal is to promote the love of reading to all, by
carrying the best selection of books anywhere! We host regular author events
and workshops throughout the year, as well as our very own Book Club.
The Country Bookshelf was first founded in 1957 by Polly Renne
in a small shop just off Tracy Avenue, and after several years, Marguerite Kirk
relocated the store to the White Chapel on West Main Street. Mary Jane DiSanti,
owner of the bookstore for 36 years, then purchased the store and later moved
it back downtown in 1986 to its current location, renovating and expanding the
space which would eventually become a landmark. In 2010, Mary Jane transfered
ownership to Ariana Paliobagis, who has continued to make the bookstore one of
the most knowledgeable, people-friendly book stores around.
Country Bookshelf has some pretty awesome bookstore awards
on its shelf! Check the details here https://www.countrybookshelf.com/

They host lots of events for authors and several book
clubs. It’s a lot more than I find
usually which probably attributes to the awards this store has garnered.
Stop over and meet the proprietors if you’re ever through
Bozeman, Montana.
