Genres Bookshop at the YWCA

Visit Genres Bookshop at the YWCA in Westfield to browse a combination of works from Chautauqua County's local authors and also used books from a variety of genres. 

The YWCA is actually the site of Westfield's first library, making this the ideal location for Genres Bookshop, which carries on Hannah Patterson’s love and promotion of books. Patterson founded Westfield's Patterson Library.

Local authors featured at Genres Bookshop are: Karin Cockram, Melinda Zook, Ed McClanathan, Charles Freedom Long, Deborah Madar, Donald D. Dowling, Judy Shuler, Robert John Terryberry, Jeanette Van Zanten Stump, Loren Mayshark, and Shannon Reber.

The store's inventory is diverse and ever-changing, so visit Genres multiple times or every week at the Westfield Farmer's Market to update your personal library.
