Explore books is a non-profit independent bookstore in aspen, colorado. More than a bookstore, explore provides a needed "third space" for the aspen community - where books, ideas and the free-flowing conversation they initiate are part of the environment. Explore books also serves the community by promoting literacy and intellectual exploration through its diverse selection of books and periodicals on public interest topics; by hosting free educational events, workshops, round table discussions with a variety of authors and thought-leaders on important issues; and by partnering with other non-profits in the roaring fork valley on educational programs and community service projects.
