Our Story

We opened our doors back in December of 2012 with the goal of providing Columbia and Maury County, Tennessee with a cool, neighborhood indie bookstore where people come to visit, read, relax and laugh. Since then we have met book lovers from all over the world, hosted fun special events and had a visit from a famous author or two. We invite you to come and experience Duck River Books right in the Dimple of the Universe.
