Here's everything you need to know about The Barn Owl.
We opened The Barn Owl Books and Gifts in 2017, following the closure of the previous bookstore/drugstore. I love McCall and couldn't imagine our community without a thriving bookstore - for the locals and our many visitors.
We're a general bookstore with thousands of books for you to browse. We also carry art supplies, puzzles, notebooks, pens, journals, games, notebooks, and so much more. You'll find books - and gifts - here at The Owl that you just don't see elsewhere.

Amy Cooper is the founder and owner of the Barn Owl Books and Gifts. She and her husband Mike co-own the store, though Mike stays more than busy with his own career! Amy's favorite genres include memoirs, historical fiction and history.
Christa is the Owl's assistant manager, having joined the team in the winter of 2022. Christa grew up in McCall and is happy to be part of such an asset to this area. She enjoys reading (of course) hiking with her dog and quilting. Christa is the creative force behind displays and events.
Ann has been with the store since 2020, splitting her time between Idaho and Arizona. We are thrilled to have such
a knowledgeable and fun bookseller like Ann on staff.
And she's our resident tech whiz too!
Babe (below) pictured here with Indie (above) is the newest
and youngest staff member currently at the Barn Owl. You'll typically see Babe on the sales floor, helping you choose
a new book or author. She also handles all things on-line
and is our sign/display design guru.
