A beautiful bookstore in downtown Sheboygan! We were happy to find this store while camping nearby. Lots of local art on the walls, a well curated collection covering many topics, including LGTBQ issues and local authors. Nice used book section in the basement. Bought several books I would not have otherwise known about. A fun place to visit and browse.

Discovered WordHaven while on vacation and I would be in so much trouble if I lived in the area because I would be here much more frequently than my bank account would like. This shop has one of the best curated selections of new books I’ve ever seen in an indie bookstore, plus a fun assortment of used books in the basement. The person who rang up my items was friendly and helpful, plus the day I was in they had a violinist playing live music, which was lovely. Seems like a great part of the local community and I will definitely be back if I’m in the area.
