Indie bookstore boom extends to south Charlotte
Julie Isgrigg has been serving readers for more than 27 years. Now she's the co-founder of her own bookstore . Why it matters: The Reading Tree Bookshop will add another independent bookstore to Charlotte's growing scene and give south Charlotte residents a new place to gather. Zoom in: Isgrigg and fellow bookstore co-founders David and Michelle Ebersman hope to honor the Ebersmans' late son, Sam, by hiring several workers with autism. Sam died in an accident several years ago. "David and Michelle really thought that a bookstore would have been the place, the kind of place where Sam could have worked and thrived," Isgrigg tells Axios. What to expect: The Reading Tree Bookshop will be open daily. It will sell new books for all ages. The 2,200-square-foot space will include a 10- to 12-foot 3D tree in the corner of the kid's section. Isgrigg's mother is making mushroom cap floor cushions that kids can sit on during story time. The hope is for people to "come into our forest and and put down roots," Isgrigg says. There will also be book related events, community gatherings, arts and crafts nights and silent book club.
