Celebrate National Read a Book Day with 8 bookshops near you
If you’ve been looking for a sign to crack open a nice hardback lately, this is it.
It’s National Read a Book Day and we think it would also be a good excuse to patronize a local book shop.
Here are some places around the town to score new adventures on paper:
The Book Loft
631 S 3rd St, Columbus
The OG bookstore in Columbus. Carve out many, many hours to enjoy the 32-room labyrinth in German Village.
Half Priced Books
Cheap books already broken in by bookworms before you.
Barnes & Noble
1598 North High Street, Columbus
All the hottest reads + journals + stationary + pretty much everything
