The Bookshelf

"I was ordering some gifts from their website and had a few questions, so I emailed their team. Erin helped me and was super helpful in recommending books for my children. Very quick response, and was super easy to work with. Not to mention the few times I’ve been in this store in person and it is so cute inside, and everyone is always so kind! We love the Bookshelf!"

"Wonderful, friendly staff! They have a great selection of gifts and books. Definitely worth a visit."

"Everything a small independent bookstore should be. Small but we'll curated selection of fiction, non-fiction, children's books, etc. Staff had a lot of good recommendations. Store seems to run a lot of fun programs and readings (they had a where's Waldo activity going on while we were there). Nice reading area upstairs."

"“We've been making a difference in South Georgia and North Florida for over three decades. At The Bookshelf, we believe in the power of books to shape communities and foster conversations. Our staff has curated a quality collection of literature across genres, and each month, we host over a dozen story times, author events, educational workshops, and more. We love literature and paper and interesting conversations, and we believe a life enriched by books is the very best kind of life. Our shop in beautiful downtown Thomasville, Georgia, is open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with extended hours for special events and occasional weekends. “"

"I was introduced to The Bookshelf from a friend who used to live in town (I live in WI) and hearing her talk about what this bookstore meant to her made me fall in love with it from afar. I started listening to the podcast, and following on social media and I knew if I was ever remotely within driving distance I had to stop in. Y'all. This shop is one of the most gorgeous, thoughtfully curated bookstores I have ever been to. I was greeted so warmly entering and asked if I was looking for anything specific or if she could help with any of her recommendations (which I Love!) I have to note: I am childless but the children's section was so beautiful and full it made me tear up. I wanted to buy children's books just to have them in my collection! I am lucky to live within walking distance of my local bookstore (love you Boswell Books!) But I can assure you if I lived in Thomasville- I would live for The Bookshelf."
