LAKEPORT, Calif. – Watershed Books, owned and operated by Cheri Holden, has just been named “Business of the Quarter” by the Lakeport Main Street Association (LMSA).
The downtown store was nominated by customers and fellow businesses who commended Holden on her regular in-store special events and her community involvement.
She serves on the executive board of the Lake chapter of the Sierra Club, is the coordinator of the Tule Film Festival, is a member of the Clear Lake Advisory Committee and says that her chief passion, aside from books, is for the county to have a healthy lake.
Holden was awarded a certificate of excellence and a lovely scarf by LMSA Board of Directors president, Barbara Breunig, at a recent Main Street mixer.
Watershed Books will also be featured in a video on the LMSA Web site and in a front page article in the next LMSA newsletter.
Watershed Books is located at 305 N. Main St., Lakeport, offering a wide selection of new, used and rare books.
For more information visit www.watershedbookco.com or call 707-263-5787.
The Lakeport Main Street Association is a nonprofit organization which follows the National Trust Main Street program.
LMSA’s mission is to improve the economic health of downtown Lakeport, preserve its historic beauty and foster its small town friendliness.












Both for my own purchases and as a resource for the Law Library. Cheri stocks a host of Nolo Press books that are commonly used at both the Law Library and the Family Law Facilitator/Small Claims Ctr on Main St.
I buy my books through Watershed, rather than directly from Amazon so that a portion of the tax goes to our County. I realize it doesn't seem like much, but remember the junk bond traders making $$$$ off the rounding up to a penny difference on the volume of transactions? That's why we need to shop locally as much as possible.
