The dream for Castle Books sprang into being many years ago during a long trip through the misty Scottish Highlands. The rich history and atmosphere is sunk deep into the earth there. There, the castles and ruins speak countless stories, spark a sort of romantic imagination. What a wonder it would be to capture the majesty and atmosphere of a castle and a bookstore together. While we have not captured that moment exactly we've done everything in our power to create a bookstore with all the charm you might expect to find in such a place. The lairds of the shop are two kittens, Oolong and Matcha who will be making occasional visits once we find a suitable location to establish our brick and mortar presence in the physical realm. OUR MISSION We aim to create a vibrant, accepting community space open to all book-lovers regardless of race, gender, orientation, economic status, or species. Our focus is always to encourage curiosity and a search for wonder. 5% of all yearly earnings are donated to charities supporting neuro-divergent communities and communities affected by trauma.
