A local bookstore is not just a store. It’s a place to feel alive, to find stories that remind us what it is to be human. Stories remind us we are not alone, and local book stores do the same: Here are people just like us, seeking serenity between the shelves, looking for stories. 

It’s a place to gather. Basecamp Books and Adventure, 3918 Maizeland Road, will be that place from noon-6 p.m. Sunday.

Basecamp Book Bash is bringing together local authors, “bookish vendors” and bookish people who can grab a bite from food trucks, partake in giveaways and prizes and, yes, find their next read.
