Maria's is a crucial part of a vibrant community

Maria’s Bookshop in the heart of historic downtown Durango is a warm and inviting reflection of the friendly community it serves. A toddler welcomed me into the cozy shop that is a focal point for families and friends to meet. Maria’s is a perfect first stop for a visitor to obtain maps, books on the hiking and mountain biking trails, ski areas and regional history. Helpful staff members are eager to share their knowledge of the area and the 40,000 books of fiction and non-fiction in house. Maria’s serves Durango, and the extended community of 45,000, by sponsoring author events, supporting over 100 active reading groups, giving to local non-profits and hosting events throughout the year. Maria’s is more than a bookstore it is a crucial part of a vibrant community.
