What’s not to love about going on a fun family shopping trip to pick out some new books to read? We love the bookstores here in Fayetteville, AR because they’re close to home, kid-friendly, reasonably priced, and chock full of incredible books. We’re about to share a few of our favorite places in town, so load everyone into your Kia Sorento and drive on down to these excellent shops.
4 Favorite Bookstores You Can Drive to Near Fayetteville, AR
1. Dickson Street Bookshop
Located at 325 West Dickson Street, this lovely bookshop has graced Fayetteville with its presence for over forty years. We love shopping at Dickson, which is known for its selection of used and out-of-print books. Truly, there is no better place for rediscovering old classics and hidden gems.
Browsing the bookshelves in person is always worthwhile, but when you feel like staying home, Dickson’s online inventory has you covered! Just hop on their website and check out which books they have in stock. After all, there’s nothing quite as cozy and convenient as online book shopping!
2. Pearl’s Books
When it comes to Pearl’s Books, we cannot contain our excitement. Unlike Dickson, an old store selling old books, Peal’s is a new store selling new books! You can find this literary paradise at 28 East Center Street. By shopping at Pearl’s, you can stay up-to-date on new releases and join ongoing conversations about contemporary novels and novelists.
Community is very important at Pearl’s. Join a book club to receive a 10% discount on book club picks, attend literary events to support local writers, or just drop by for a friendly conversation or book recommendation.
3. Rock Bottom Books
If you’re in the mood for a comic book, I have some good news for you: Rock Bottom Books has the best selection in town! Located at 1206 Garland Avenue, this store is the perfect place to satisfy any comic collector’s needs. In addition to books, they have a wide variety of action figures, Magic the Gathering cards, and clothing items!
Bring the kids to pick up the latest Marvel or DC comic, or go alone to find the newest addition to your collection. Either way, Rock Bottom Books is definitely worth a visit.
4. Dad Suggests
The little ones love to read, and we love to make sure that they are reading high-quality books. That’s why we recommend Dad Suggests, which you can find at 1404 North College Avenue. This shop contains a perfectly curated collection of family-friendly stories that will absolutely engage your child and encourage a love of reading.
In addition to children’s books, you can also purchase board games and graphic novels, all of which are vouched for by the owners as top-notch choices.
If you love books as much as we do, come visit us at Crain Kia of Fayetteville to tell us your favorite novel. While you’re here, we’ll be happy to help you find the perfect Kia model for you!
