Staff

We have a great team heading up the effort, but that’s only the beginning. Hundreds of people have been involved in building the co-op, and you could be one of them! To make a community-owned store a reality, use the "Get Involved" menu to become a member/owner, a volunteer, or an employee.

Gustavo Belotta, General Manager

Gustavo has worked in the book retail market for over 16 years and has read a few here and there in that time. He will occasionally do some writing, some acting, some painting, or anything else creative that takes his fancy. He can be found playing board games or trying to convince people to play board games the rest of the time.

Diana, Bookseller

Diana, a student at Purdue University Global, studying Legal Services and Support with a Paralegal Concentration, has a love for walking and enjoy doing so all year long; rain, snow, or shine. Her favorite pastime is searching for famous quotes from authors; political leaders, figures, and activists; scientists, and spiritual leaders, sometimes spending hours searching endlessly for quotes on motivation, inspiration, and wisdom.

Diana also enjoys fishing, hiking, camping, hunting, water skiing, and mountain bike riding. Her family came to Montana from Michigan in 1975 and she moved to Billings five years ago. Quickly becoming very fond of the Magic City, Diana plans on staying in this area because she is happy to call Billings home. One evening, while going for a walk downtown, Diana happened upon a new little bookstore and tea shop. Because of her love for the downtown area, Montana authors and artists, she is happy to be working at This House of Books.
