About Us

“Welcome to Red Fern Booksellers!  Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all members of our community in which to nurture a love of reading, engage in thoughtful conversations, and foster empathy.”

Downtown Salina is the cultural hub of our city offering art, theater, and live music. Red Fern is excited to be part of the local fabric that brings a community together, offering a place to discover your new favorite book or browse the latest bestsellers, travel books, cookbooks, and all the things we need to help us dream and create.  The bookstore is located in the Teague Nelson Building (listed on the Kansas Register of Historic Places) in the heart of Downtown Salina at 106 South Santa Fe Ave.  In addition to a thoughtfully curated selection of thousands of titles, we offer a variety of responsibly sourced artisanal goods including gift wrap, stationery, greeting cards, candles, puzzles, games, and art. 

Come in and browse for your next favorite book.  Hopefully, you'll remember why you loved reading as a child and pass that love of reading on to the children in your life.  We want to be the first place you think of when you want a book! 

Book clubs, book signings, author chats, poetry readings, children's storytimes--anything you can think of happening in a bookstore is happening at Red Fern Booksellers.  Be sure to check out our Events calendar and give us a follow on Instagram or Facebook @redfernbooksellers.
