Kazoo Books

Kazoo Books captures the creative spirit of Kalamazoo, a Michigan city known for its craft breweries, vibrant arts scene, and the kind of community engagement that makes for great bookselling. The store opened in 2016 near Western Michigan University and has become a gathering place for the city's writers, artists, and readers. The literary fiction section is curated with genuine passion, and the poetry and graphic novel sections are standouts that reflect the diverse literary tastes of the community. The children's section has developed a devoted following among Kalamazoo families, and the local authors section reveals the impressive literary output of this mid-sized Michigan city. The store's events programming emphasizes emerging writers and cross-genre experimentation, and the staff's enthusiasm for connecting readers with undiscovered voices has built a loyal customer base that extends well beyond the university community.
