Support your Local Bookstores - Let's Keep New Orleans Original


This weekend, NoLA Rising would like you to go out and support your local bookstores. With the opening of the new Borders megastore on St. Charles Avenue, those small bookstores that have been our friends and neighbors since childhood will now be feeling extra holiday crunch.

If you were planning on purchasing books for someone special this holiday season, remember the small guys like you and me. There's Deville books at 134 Carondelet and then there's also the Garden District Bookshop in The Rink on the corner of Prytania and Washington. There are many other New Orleans bookstores to be found in your neighborhood too so look them up! Let's keep New Orleans original!

  1. Hey there. Thanks for the shoutout to all the indi booksellers, sorry you missed me. :) Especially, since Avi is helping me work with NOLArising to do a mural on my business wall. No worries and keep up the good work! Much kindness, Elizabeth
