Dear Friends,

From all of us here I'd like to say thank you so much for the support we've received over the past six years. We regret to announce that we will be closing our doors at the end of April. We appreciate everyone who made
Market Street Books at Arts & Letters Community Center an amazing place, but due to the economic crisis and the rapid corresponding drop in book sales, we are unable to stay open. 
We are selling all stock, along with the couches, shelves, audio equipment, etc... so please come by and help us clear out the store.

Best wishes,
The Market Street Books at Arts & Letters Community Center Staff

Welcome to Market Street Books at Arts & Letters Community Center

2008 Chapel Hill/Carrboro Small Business of the Year!

We are a non-profit, full-service independent bookshop and arts-based community center, located in the Southern Village neighborhood of Chapel Hill. Our mission is to provide a destination for people who love books, theater, music, and art to come and hang out. Our motto is Contagious Creativity. Come in and experience the infectious ethusiasm and imaginative energy.

Market Street Books carries a wide selection of fiction, nonfiction, and children's books. Arts & Letters Community Center is bustling with activities like children's theater, tai chi, drawing, altered books, and clay classes. Please check our schedule of events for fun things to do. (Click here for Peepfest 2009.) 

We're located at 610 Market Street, two miles from the UNC campus off U.S. 15-501 South. We're open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you would like to call us, the number is 919-933-5111.
