Old Firehouse Books in Fort Collins celebrates 30 years in business this week, marking its 10th year with current owners Susie Wilmer and Richard Sommerfeld. Having changed both its location and its name, Old Firehouse continues to provide a unique retail service to Fort Collins, as do we here in Loveland. Independent bookstores become a community in themselves, offering a place to browse, exchange ideas and tap into the local flavor and authors of a region. Local authors look to indie bookstores to help handsell their books, as was the case with many authors who got “their start” thanks, in part, to the promotional efforts of indie bookstores.

When you visit us, remember we are here to assist you in searching for the latest titles from authors of northern Colorado. Our local author section offers a wealth of books ranging local history to books for children, self-help titles, and more. It’s a section well worth your perusal and we encourage you to support these authors.
