Upcoming Events

Zine Workshop with Zine Bros Distro

πŸ•• 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM $5

Before the internet, there were zines: handmade, photocopied bursts of rebellion and creativity passed from hand to hand. They were (and still are) the voice of the unheard. Join this interactive zine-making workshop led by Zine Bros Distro, who'll take us through the history, purpose, and power of these pocket-sized revolutions. Learn how to fold your own eight-page zine, explore different formats and uses, and get your hands ink-deep in DIY storytelling. You'll leave with your own handmade zine and the option to make copies to share.

Whimsy Journals Part Two

πŸ•“ 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM $15

Continue your junk journal journey in this hands-on workshop where you'll learn sewn binding techniques, add new pages, and create unique interest pages. Whether continuing from Step One or joining fresh, this is your chance to deepen your creative practice with fellow book lovers. All supplies included - Step One attendees get a discounted rate! Create a journal inspired by our Bit Zen Pieces collection.

Sip & Craft Around the Table Party!

πŸ•™ 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM Free

Help transform the bookshop into a winter wonderland! Join our craft circle to make ornaments, displays, and seasonal touches while enjoying cocoa, coffee, and cider. The crafts we build will either decorate the shop or you can take them home. This free, family-friendly event promises a morning filled with cinnamon scents, laughter, and community spirit. Bring your creative flair or just your holiday cheer to help make our shop sparkle for the season.
