These include presentations by historians, readings of plays, music events, and community service programs. We enjoy such gatherings quite a lot. Our bookstore events calendar is always evolving, so please regularly check back here for updates to our calendar (and/or follow us on social media, where all such activities are also posted).

Announcing a group read of Ivan Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons: Thursday, August 22 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore!
August 22 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Off the smashing success of our three-part program on the great 19th-century writers, Dr. Lee Farrow will lead us in discussion about one of her favorite books, Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev. The 1862 novel explores generational clash in mid-19th-century Russia, delving into the themes of love, politics, and societal change. Quite controversial at the time of publication, the work has endured for its modern sensibilities and powerful story. Pick up a copy of Fathers and Sons at The NewSouth Bookstore for reading in the next ten weeks, then join us for our group read event in August. Mark your calendars with the date: Thursday, August 22 at 5:30pm.
