The NewSouth Bookstore actively hosts bookstore and off-site literary programs — book talks and readings — along with a variety of other programs both entertaining and educational. 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). We welcome your event suggestions and thank you for your support.
Timely as his book is timely, The NewSouth Bookstore is thrilled to host historian Corey Brettschneider for discussion and signing with his new book, The Presidents and the People: Five Leaders Who Threatened Democracy and the Citizens Who Fought to Defend It. Critics call the book “an inspired history dramatically rendered,” “informative and stimulating,” and “an essential survey.” The Presidents and the People details how presidents in different eras abused their power, offering insights that seem less like history than prognostication. Will be an exciting program. Join us at The NewSouth Bookstore on Sunday, October 27 at 3pm.
