Birdhouse Books and Gifts is a neighborhood, community-focused independent bookstore in central Austin, Texas. We are a queer-owned, veteran-owned, and woman-owned business (and all of those are the same person!). We are an indie bookshop focused on inclusivity, community, and welcoming. Our goal is for every person who walks through our doors to feel seen and a sense of belonging here.

​

Our selection is ever-expanding as we grow within our space. We've got a fun and beautiful kids and middle grade section, and features for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC authors, alongside new fiction and non-fiction for adults. Check back frequently because we are growing and changing every day! 

We have always have full slate of events on the calendar, which are detailed below and updated here monthly. We hope to see you soon at the Birdhouse!
