Box Turtle Books is more than just your local indie bookstore. We exist to gather the readers, stir up the thinkers, and make our community a little louder, smarter, and more alive. We envision a future where rural shelves are full of stories, readers shape the culture, and everyone feels like they belong.

We host book clubs, book talks, author pop-ups, celebrations for readers, and more. Follow us on social media @boxturtlebooks to stay up-to-date on what's happening at Uptown Shelby's only independent bookstore.
