Why Burrowing Owl? On the trip into town each morning to take the kids to school, we pass a quarter section of land with a Burrowing Owl frequently perched on a fence post. As we considered opening a book store, we were struck by the name. Owls, of course, are known for wisdom. There is no better place to expand knowledge and wisdom than between the covers of a book. We wanted a name that would reflect the local flavor of our land and community. So, if you are looking for a good book to burrow into, come by and see us. We have a few!
