Columbus Booklovers Trail
Independently Owned. Authentically Columbus.
Every great city has a story, and in Columbus, those stories live on the shelves of our independent bookstores, comic shops and libraries. The Columbus Booklovers Trail invites you to wander into cozy corners where imagination thrives, and each turn of the page opens a new adventure.
This trail is your guide to discovering places that are independently owned and authentically Columbus—shelves stacked with possibility, and booksellers who know just the title to spark your curiosity. Check in at each location to earn points along the way—it’s one point per stop.
10 points = Columbus Booklovers Trail Sweatshirt (perfect for curling up with your next great read!)
Along your journey, be sure to explore these Local Gems! They don’t count for points, but they’re special places every booklover should experience:
- Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum
- Thurber House
- Columbus Metropolitan Library Locations
