Bookstore + Cats = Heaven. Even better when the cat hitches a ride in a fellow shopper's baby stroller. Cats are the best. Books are also great, and this store had a really wide selection.

I love this place. It’s a bookstore for readers and writers alike. As a student I don’t have much money, but am so happy when I do I can spend it here. They are always kind and excited about the authors I’m exploring. Thanks to always chatting about wild men like William Gay and not looking at me like I’m crazy.

Love City Lights Bookstore! Amazing inventory of new books and large selection of used books too. They will order books they don’t have of course. Staff is so knowledgeable and helpful. We are so lucky to have this caliber of a bookstore out here in our mountains.
City Lights Bookstore is in Sylva, North Carolina, a small Main Street town tucked in the heart of the southern Appalachian Mountains. Our goal is to share the literature of the region with the world, and the world of books with our community.
Selling new and used books, cards, gifts, journals, maps, and more since 1985.
