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.

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.
