Small Business Feature: Chamblin`s Uptown 📚☕🔖

📍215 N. Laura St.

Step inside @chamblinsbooks, where every shelf tells a story and every visit is an adventure. From maze-like wooden shelves to rare finds, local authors and a cozy café, this DTJax gem is more than a bookstore; it’s a place to explore, discover and feel at home.

“We want customers to feel like this is their place; to browse, to feel safe, to be exposed to things they weren’t necessarily aware of before walking in the door,” says Cari Singson, manager of the Uptown location.

Trade in your old books or vinyl, sip a fresh cup of coffee, and dive into the magic that makes Chamblin’s a community hub for readers, collectors and curious minds alike.
