Wild Geese Bookshop Opens in Franklin, Ind.

Wild Geese Bookshop, which opened in November at 107 S. Water Street in Franklin, Ind., "is filled wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling with a hand-curated selection of bestselling fiction, local history and current events," the Daily Journal reported.

"It's been in my heart for decades," said owner Tiffany Lauderdale Phillips of her dream to open a bookshop. "I've needed the people of Franklin, and they needed a bookstore. I'm tickled to be here.... I think what we provide is a unique experience. Any time we have an opportunity to be part of our communities and have conversations about books and meet each other--allowing a book to find you--I think that's a different experience altogether."

Phillips also observed that independent bookstores "are not just about the books, it's about the experience of being around ideas and places you've never been before (through reading); it gives us a chance to find ourselves in others and understand each other's perspectives. We want people to feel part of something special--you can't replicate that experience online."
