Do you long to be among kindred spirits, surrounded by good books and delicious food?

Is your idea of paradise a small Southern town with giant oak trees, walkable streets, and quaint shops?

Then we've planned an event with you in mind.

Our Reader Retreats are weekend-long events designed for long-distance customers to come visit The Bookshelf and our hometown. Our two-day retreats include all sorts of bookish programming, including a dinner party, silent reading time, workshops, book previews, a live podcast, and more. Reader Retreats are held in partnership with the Courtyard Marriott in downtown Thomasville, and your registration fee includes two meals and accommodations.
