This new traveling bookstore is rolling through Columbus breweries and more

Meet Wandering Quills Bookshop, a dreamy bookstore on wheels. Recently launched by Columbus-based co-founders Anne Hampton and Kristen Quanrud, this mobile shop will be coming to a brewery or event near you this summer.

The bookshop (@wanderingquillsbooks on Instagram) was originally a 16 foot utility trailer that has been fully renovated and turned into a fully stocked bookstore, complete with whimsical woodland decor and a full selection of books for every type of reader. On the outside is their logo, an adorable hedgehog taking a stroll.

“Wandering Quills Bookshop believes diverse voices matter and stories hold the power to ignite social change—one page, one book, and one community at a time,” the owners told 614now.

The bookshop is women-owned, LGBT-owned, and AAPI-owned. When making selections and creating a community around the store, the owners strive to bring these demographics into the selection of their novels.

Wandering Quills Bookshop has a full schedule this summer, including parking at Seventh Son, Combustion Brewery, Olentangy River Brewing Co., Land-Grant, local makers markets, the Columbus Book Festival and more! Visitors can see their full schedule of events on their website at wanderingquillsbooks.com.
If you’re unable to catch the mobile bookshop in person, Wandering Quills has also launched online ordering through bookshop.org. Columbus, get ready to kick-of your summer reading in a whole new way!
