McIntyre's Books
Finally, a draw for many Fearrington residents in their decision to move here is the countless of author events held annually at our own McIntyre's Books, one of the South's most noted independent bookstores. These events, free and open to the general public, offer opportunities for personal enrichment on topics ranging from mystery to travel to politics. 

Don't miss Bookends book club at McIntyre's, which offers lively and engaging discussions focusing on pairs of novels (or short stories or poems) that explore noteworthy literary themes from both classic and contemporary perspectives. View McIntyre's calendar of upcoming events.
