Dear friends,

At the Punta Gorda Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Dinner held this past Saturday night, Copperfish Books was announced as the winner of the 2014 Small Business of the Year award! We cannot express how excited, gratified, and thankful we are to receive this award, particularly in just our second year. This is evidence, we believe, of how our community feels about this bookstore, and how important bookstores are to communities.

Owning and operating a bookstore these days is not easy, and some may question the sanity of the owners (as we have, ourselves). But we firmly believe that a bookstore can contribute to the cultural vibrancy of a place, can be an attraction to visitors and potential residents, and can offer each patron an opportunity to connect in a genuine way. Plus, we just love books and enjoy meeting other people who do, too!
?
We could not achieve what we have without the great support of our Chamber, friends and colleagues in the business community, and, of course, you, our customers. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Our best,
Cathy and Serena
Owners, Copperfish Books
