About this Event

Ten years ago, Itinerant Literate Books first hit the road in Charleston in our trusty camper, Viola, and made official camp here in Park Circle. To celebrate a decade of stories, community, and portable magic, we're throwing the summer camp party of our dreams!

And the best part is that the fun starts before the party! All through July, customers can earn merit patches toward their Bookstore Camp sash or vest. Collect 5 patches and you'll take home a prize bag. Learn how to earn badges below.
