Potter's House Breakfast & Travel

Potters non-profit bookstore and cafe since 1960 is for activism and community involvement and transformation. Books on social movements, cultural studies and spiritual traditions, host talks and get togethers are a regular occurrence here. Potter's House Books is an affiliate of Bookshop.org, a new venture that is revolutionizing book-buying by allowing consumers the ease and speed of an Amazon-like online shopping experience while still supporting local independent bookstores.
