As you enter the store, to the left, you'll find a new layout on the way to Classics and the Children's Room.

In this section, you'll find University Press books, Franklin Library, Folio, Book of the Month, and those awesome Word Cloud Classics that our book dragons love.

You'll also discover an expanded area for New Releases and an expanded "Book Club Reads."

The Book Club Reads will include Reese's Book Club, GMA Book Club, and Read with Jenna.

(Don't worry, the Children's Room hasn't changed.)

Caleb Welch came in for one book the day we were boxing up the section it was in (pre-reorganization).
Then, he found a whole book haul of other books he wanted to take home, too!

Welcome to the fiction row.

Previously, in the store, we had fiction spread out in three different places.
Now, the fiction books are all in one main area.
This is the part of the store that previously housed history, Christian fiction, and the ends of shelving units.

Now, the hardcovers are on the left side of the row, the mass market paperbacks on the other, and straight ahead, you'll find trade paperbacks.

In this aisle, you'll find general fiction, women's fiction, literature, and thrillers.

(Mysteries, Christian Fiction, and romance books have their own sections, but more on that later.)

Let there be light...

As part of our store reorganization, we expanded our Mississippi authors section (now on bookcases flanking the front door - see photos).
And we moved bookcases away from the windows.

The result? A lot of light to see your favorite books throughout the store.

We'll be sharing more of our store reorganization journey over the next few days.
We'll be open tomorrow and Saturday, 10am - 5pm (our regular hours).
Book intake is paused until June 15 because we're still opening boxes from the move.

05/28/2026

We WILL BE OPEN today - Thursday, May 28. We are still putting the finishing touches on our sections, so please be patient while our team unloads and sorts books.
