A real bookstore
by tisbury
I loved my visit to Charis. It was such a change to have someone helping me that knows about books. While they do not have the inventory that some bookstores may have, they were able to order what I needed. I will continue to shop there and recommend it to anyone who trully loves books.
- Pros: staff, atmosphere, real book people
- Cons: parking

It is not all that great!
by yampo
"great literature not found at B&N?" What titles are you talking about? Charis is small, the selection is very limited, and it cannot exists in today's book market.
If Charis is so valuled, then why is it on the verge of closing down? I have the answer! It is because the "loyal customers" (like yourself) do not shop there anymore. They now shop at Barnes & Noble and other chain stores.
- Pros: none
- Cons: small location, limited selection

Don't give up on this independent store!
by atl_lib
Charis has been around for 30+ years and if you haven't been there, you are missing out. They have so many titles...not just feminist / lesbian / counterculture stuff. If you support independent voices, you should not spend your dollar anywhere else in this town. Do you think that the big chains care about what you are reading?!? They don't...they just want your money. Charis cares about this community and they want to help us all to expand our minds.

There's a small free lot next to the store reserved for Charis customers. If it's full, your best bet is street parking.
