We’ve moved the books, we’ve found the soil, and now it’s time to grow.

Birch Tree Bookery is more than just a bookstore; it’s a community-built home for stories. As we transform 167 James Way into a true flagship destination for Marion, we’re inviting you to help us cross the finish line.

Whether it’s a few dollars toward a gallon of “Birch White” paint or a larger contribution toward our custom shelving and the Booklovers’ Suite, your support helps us build a space that is just right.

How to Support the Build:

1. Give Online via Venmo You can find us @patoodles or simply click here to be taken to the page.

2. Give Online via Our Campaign Page.

  • Our Bucyrus Location: 1810 E Mansfield St, Bucyrus, OH.
  • Our Marion Location: 167 James Way (By appointment only during the build-out).

What’s in our “Table of Contents”?

Your support directly funds the features that will make our new home special:

  • A Seamless Blend: Integrating our new and used collections for a better browsing flow.
  • More Birch: Creating an airy, open feel with even more of our namesake architectural features.
  • The Booklovers’ Suite: A dedicated community space for rowdy book clubs, parties, and quiet reading.
  • VIP Treatment: An expanded focus on exclusive and private bookstore experiences.
