More than a bookstore.
We love Paragould.This city is full of good people, meaningful stories, and quiet potential.
Book & Mortar exists to contribute to that; to create a place where neighbors can gather, conversations can happen, and something lasting can be built together.
Whether you’re stopping in for five minutes or staying awhile, our hope is that you feel welcomed, seen, and at home here.
At Book & Mortar, we aim to curate the right selection of books for our customers. From New York Times Bestsellers and engaging Beach Reads, to inspiring faith-based options to children’s stories to develop young readers. We are building shelves to invite curiosity, connection, and community.
COFFEE!
Oh, and we plan to serve the best coffee in the world. Coffee to savor. Coffee to share. Details to come on that.
Who is behind this?
The founders of the Book & Mortar Collective are Chris and Sarah Collier. Avid readers who have dreamed of bringing books and great coffee back to Paragould since we moved back to Arkansas (from Kansas City, MO) in 2021.
We have two sons who love reading so much, they decided to share bedrooms and turn their extra bedroom into their “library.” Sarah serves on the Paragould School Board. Chris founded the Paragould Run Company, produces The Paragould Podcast, and serves on the Greene County Community Fund board. Our love for Paragould runs deep.
