City Center Gallery & Books

A little gem I stumbled upon a few months ago on my hunt for the best coffee shops in Fayetteville. I was drawn immediately by the books lined up on the rack outside and then the quaint feeling I had as soon as I walked in. After being in the heart of downtown Fayetteville for over 10 years, City Center knows how to make reading fun for kids – even on Valentine’s Day!

Bring your kids to make their own special paper collage Valentine!
The event is $5 for each card, all the material included.
Come spread some love with us!
