HATTEN & HAYS
OUR STORY
Hatten & Hays Mobile Bookstore began with a simple idea: books are better when they’re shared.
Founded by Castien Hatten and Crystal Hays, this traveling bookstore was created from a shared love of stories, community, and the charm of independent bookshops.
Together, they’ve created something special: a mobile bookshop that feels like stepping into your favorite cozy corner of the world. Our shelves are thoughtfully curated with stories we love and can’t wait to share with you.
DAUGHTER
Castien Hatten
Castien brings fresh energy and a passion for connecting readers with books that make them laugh, cry, swoon, and stay up far too late reading “just one more chapter.”
MOTHER
Crystal Hays
Crystal brings the warmth and hospitality you’d expect from the South—think front porch conversations and recommendations that feel like they came from a lifelong friend.
THE MOBILE BOOKSTORE
Why a Mobile Bookstore? Because stories belong everywhere.
By bringing books to markets, festivals, and community gatherings, we get to meet readers where they are, making it easier (and a little more magical) to discover your next favorite read.
