🍎BACK TO SCHOOL🍎

Grit City Books wants to wish everyone a happy Back to School season! To celebrate, we wanted to highlight our fabulous Kids section at the store. Our Bookseller, Katie, has years of experience in Children's Publishing under her belt and brings that expertise to GCB everyday. She's curated the perfect stop for kids and families to enjoy classics and find new treasures!

💫Did you know you can preorder books online or in store??? 💫

When you preorder a book, you can pick it up from us on release day. It always feels like a little present you bought yourself in advance. Along with that, preorders always help authors and indie bookstores, so check out some of the books coming out soon on our website (link in bio) and get those orders in!
