960 Main Avenue, Durango, CO 81301 • (970) 247-1438
A locally owned, independent business on historic Main Avenue, Maria's Bookshop has been a community resource since 1984.
2200 square feet of space with custom wood shelving and decor, including antiques and local artists' work, offer a comfortable, homey atmosphere with select "good reads" throughout; yet it's well organized. You can actually find stuff; and if you can't, their courteous staff will help. If an inventory of 40,000 books isn't enough, placing an order is easy and reliable.
