The Resurgence of Independent Bookstores
For many, there is nothing better than cozying up with a good book and getting carried away by a great story. Whether you are reading about true crime or knights in a forest, it allows you to escape reality for just a few moments. Independent booksellers have gone through tough times over the years, fighting to keep their doors open and their stories alive. Recently, independent bookstores are on the rise, and we could not be happier to see it! The businesses listed here have reinvented the traditional bookstore, turning it into an experience. Stepping inside brings you instantly back to that warm sense of nostalgia, surrounded by books, people and stories. If you love to leave the real world behind for a little while, these bookstores are for you.

Located inside of The Painted Tree Franklin, this is Franklin's own tiny bookstore. They carry books and gifts for all ages!
