About
A bookstore, library & board game cafe on a small Caribbean island. 10,000+ books in 19 languages, 600+ games, and a D&D program — open and community-run for 20 years.
Impact
We're a true third place on an island with few of them. No profit taken — every dollar goes back into books our community requests. Locals, expats, and travelers all share the space.
Progress
20 years on Main Street, Utila. 10,000+ books, 600+ games, D&D nights added 3 years ago. Run by an islander and a 16-year resident. Catalog currently being digitized.
Team
We're the latest in a long line of caretakers who kept this open because the island needed it. No salaries. All profit buys requested books and games. Stewards, not owners.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
