A Farewell from Find the Path Books
(With Love, Not Regret)

Dear friends, fellow book-lovers, and community dreamers,
After years of sharing stories, trading recommendations, hosting trivia, laughing over Literary Libations, and building something wild and beautiful on Bay Street… it's time for us to say goodbye.

Not because we’ve lost hope, but because we’ve found clarity.
Find the Path Books was born out of passion and built through relentless effort, long nights, and an extraordinary community. But lately, we’ve realized: the path we need now is one that leads inward, toward rest, healing, and rediscovering joy outside of survival mode.

We’re not chasing growth. We’re choosing balance.� We’re not folding in defeat. We’re closing with pride.

Stepping away from this store isn’t easy, but it’s right. It’s time to give ourselves the space to thrive as people, not just as entrepreneurs.

To those who stood beside us, who believed in what an indie bookstore could be, and who helped make Find the Path something unforgettable, thank you. You made magic happen here.

This isn’t a door slamming shut. It’s a page turning. And who knows? Someday, maybe there’s a sequel. But for now, we’re walking a quieter path, and that’s exactly where we need to be.

With gratitude and love,
�Jared, Karena

P.S. If you have a Libations question, book thoughts, or just want to stay in touch, please don’t hesitate to reach out. The story might be ending, but the friendships are not.

It's the first day of Spring, y'all! This is Karena and I'm updating you from our home office that we're slowly converting to our temporary FTP office. Just a couple things today!

The first is that we are still doing Literary Libations at DFP Port Orchard! Tuesday, March 25th @ 6pm. We only have cocktail tickets available at this moment, but I might have a couple extra books to buy at the event. Come by and talk books, drink cocktails, and play trivia!

The second is that we can do online orders! Your books will have to be shipped to you directly (Shipping is about $8.25). Message us via our website, here, or text the store phone.

And now fun stuff! Currently, I just started The Art of a Lie by Laura Shepherd-Robinson which is a historical mystery novel. I also am taking my time through the new R.F. Kuang Katabasis which is so far as excellent as Babel was.

Let us know what you're reading and if we will see you at Libations! Miss you all very much.

Don’t forget we are continuing the Literary Libations and they will be posted soon.

We are Open!

This Fri-Sat-Sun 12-6:30pm. Come on in and grab what's on the shelf. We are planning on 2 more weekends of sales. The more you buy the more of a discount you get. We don’t have everything, but we do still have some great gems. And hey, I heard it’s a good day to support local small town businesses instead of Big Box Chains stores.

We will keep you updated on future dates. See y'all soon.

Power is up at the store and what looks like most of Bay St. we will be open later around 2 if anyone needs some charging ports or heat.

Book club is still on for The City We Became 6pm.

Libations cancelled. Sorry all. Power outages hampering all of downtown and more. Stay tuned for a new date.

Been an honor and a privilege! Open for our sales Fri-Sat-Sun until Mar 7th-9th. See you all soon!
