Meet new owner Amy VandenPlas
My husband, Patrick, and I are so excited to be able to keep this wonderful bookstore open! We want to thank the community of DePere for being so welcoming. I look forward to getting to know all of the great Butterfly Books customers. Patrick and I both grew up in Green Bay and now live in New Franken. We have four children, Nathan, a freshman at Michigan Tech University, Jordyn, a Junior at Preble, Kyle a fourth grader, and Erin a first grader, both at Wequiock. Reading books is a favorite activity at our house. I hope I can help you share the love of reading with a special child in your life.
