🌟 Welcome to Charm City Books!
Hey there, bookworms and adventure seekers! If you’re anywhere near Baltimore’s historic Pigtown neighborhood, you have to swing by Charm City Books. This indie bookstore is not your average, cookie-cutter bookshop—it’s a super cozy, community-driven space that’s all about bringing people together over a love of stories, arts, and local culture.

✨ A Space That’s Got Heart
Housed in a building that once served as a Baltimore Police substation (how cool is that?), Charm City Books rocks a two-story layout that’s bursting with personality. You’ll find:
📖 First Floor Vibes:

• A killer collection of books—think everything from bestsellers to local authors, plus a strong focus on diverse and marginalized voices.

• Movable shelves—because sometimes this space transforms into a stage for epic events.
  👶 Second Floor Goodies:

• A super inviting children’s section with books that spark imaginations.

• Extra room for workshops, author talks, craft nights, and more.
  

🎭 Events That’ll Keep You Coming Back
One of the absolute best things about Charm City Books is how alive it feels. The owners, Daven Ralston and Joseph Carlson (who both come from artsy backgrounds), wanted to create a spot where books and creativity go hand-in-hand—and trust me, they nailed it. Here’s a peek at some of the fun:
🎤 Monthly Happenings Include:

• Storytimes and sing-alongs for the kiddos

• Book club meetups that’ll make you wanna actually finish that book

• Author readings and Q&A sessions with some seriously inspiring folks

• Live music that’ll have you tapping your feet

• Craft workshops where you can flex those DIY skills

• Open mic nights—because we’ve all got a poem or two in us

• Even yoga sessions for when you need to unwind
  

🐾 More Than Just Books
Charm City Books is a place where everyone feels welcome—and that includes their adorable shop dogs, who are always ready for a head scratch. It’s not just books on the shelves either; they’ve got a sweet selection of candles, puzzles, games, and locally made crafts that make perfect gifts (or treats for yourself—no judgment here!).

🏙️ Explore Pigtown Like a Local
If you’re not familiar with Pigtown (also known as Washington Village), let me give you the scoop. This neighborhood is bursting with character—historic rowhouses, murals that tell Baltimore’s story, and local shops that give it that authentic city vibe. And hey, you’re just a hop, skip, and a jump away from big attractions like Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium, so there’s always something to see and do. Whether you’re catching an O’s game, checking out some street art, or grabbing a bite at one of the nearby restaurants, Pigtown’s got a little something for everyone.
