MEET THE TEAM

Downtown Books is coming to life thanks to Paige’s vision, perfect timing, and the support of her family. Who doesn’t love a family owned indie bookstore?

We can’t wait to meet you!

Paige Williams: Owner and Visionary

Paige is the woman behind the idea, and has wanted to open a bookstore since she was a child. She used to play bookstore, and worked her way through the entire library in her elementary school classrooms. Her passion for reading and the Lexington community is driving her to create a space that is cozy, welcoming, and a hub for residents and visitors alike.

Jay Williams: Building and Operations (& very patient and supportive husband)

Jay keeps the building running and in great shape. His engineering mind is detail oriented, and has helped the storefront come to life as we have transformed the space.

Merryn Williams: Art and Branding

Merryn is behind all of the art, logos and aesthetics of the space. She also has a business of her own, Merryn Williams Designs, that will have a display in Downtown Books!

Trey Williams: Property of United States Air Force

Olivia Williams: Assistant Manager and Social Media

Olivia is Paige’s backup, and uses her eye for good marketing and social personality to run our Instagram and other social media. You’ll find an instant friend when you meet her at the shop!
