Park Road Books

Heads up: An older page on their site (/stocking-your-book) still lists a $25 fee, a 12-month term and fee waivers for WNBA Charlotte and Charlotte Writers' Club members. The record uses the Consignment Program page with the 2026 agreement. Events require the book to be in the store for 30 days first.

Charlotte's long-running independent bookstore in the Park Road Shopping Center, with a strong local-author shelf and regular author events.
