About Garland of Letters Bookstore

In 1972, Garland of Letters was founded by Dr. Pratap and his seven students with a passion to help others and build a community of learners. In 1981 Garland of Letters moved to our forever home at 527 South Street and was managed by Candace Smith for over 35 years. Our new-age bookstore has served as a vital part of the community providing support, guidance, and friendship to all who visit for almost five decades. We pride ourselves on offering a safe space to all who enter. We joyfully work to create that same virtual space on Faire and bring the energy of our store to everyone who encounters its physical and online presence.Read their story
