Willow Bridge Books is an independent bookstore located in Oakhurst, California. Nestled between the scenic landscapes of the San Joaquin Valley and Yosemite National Park, the bookstore services the communities of Madera and Mariposa counties.

According to the owner, Monica McClanahan, "individual bookstores cannot survive unless they become deeply involved in the community." Willow Bridge Books's goal is to become a dynamic part of the community and to serve as a 'bridge' between our rural communities and the outside literary and artistic world.

Willow Bridge Books holds the charm of a village shop, with the depth and breadth of the most sophisticated New York emporium. says Chris Stanton, author of Jubilee. "But neither of these is their strongest virtue...that would be the attentive staff and local patrons that give it its' heart."

Willow Bridge Books is located in the Von's Center between Von's and CVS.  Click here for store hours and contact information.
