About

Welcome to Our Community Bookstore and Gathering Space

Wild Geese Books is an independent community bookstore functioning as a local gathering space for readers. We bring people together through book readings and lively events, fostering a welcoming environment for all literature lovers.

We are Julia & Bil Morrill, and we are the new owners of Wild Geese Books. We have been part of the Cottage Grove community since 2008, and our three daughters graduated from Cottage Grove High School. We are excited to keep the history and legacy of Kalapuya Books going, with Wild Geese Books.
