This Book Club Is Banned
🕐 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Stories that have been challenged or banned have sparked conversation and controversy across the country. At This Book Club Is Banned, we select our reading list from titles named on the American Library Association and PEN America lists of banned or challenged books, and explore them together in community. In recent years, attempts to censor or restrict access to books have surged. The American Library Association has documented thousands of book challenges each year, far more than in previous decades, targeting a wide range of voices and experiences. This club isn't just about reading; it's about understanding why certain stories provoke debate, recognizing the value of diverse perspectives, and celebrating the freedom to read openly and with curiosity. Whether you're passionate about literature, interested in social issues, or simply looking for lively discussion, join us as we read books that challenge and stories that matter.
Sip & Craft
🕐 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Sip & Craft is our monthly, free crafting hang designed to be exactly what you need: simple, social, and sustainable. We set out easy, low-pressure craft projects using accessible and often reused materials, so you can make something with your hands while enjoying good conversation and a thematic drink. Open to all ages, Sip & Craft is less about perfection and more about connection - you can come solo, bring a friend, or make a new one at the table. Whether you stay for ten minutes or two hours, you're welcome to drop in, create, and be part of the community.
Beacon: A Good Men's Gathering
🕐 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
In our history and our culture, lighting a beacon was a call for aid. In England, the beacons still stand, lit during times of honor and memorial. They've become centers of gathering, places that a community come together to celebrate, to remember, and to strengthen their bond. Beacon is our modern take, a monthly meetup for men in the Holland area who want a place to connect. The goal is to gather on the third Sunday of each month around this beacon: that honor and hope and possibility are the bonds of good men. Think of it as a chance to check in, swap stories, talk about books, hobbies, local happenings, vent about work, or just sit and listen. There's no agenda, no pitch, no pressure. Sometimes we'll offer a loose theme to kick things off, but mostly we let the discussion take its own path.
Craft & Connect
🕐 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Craft & Connect is our every-other-Friday evening gathering for people who like to make things and talk while doing it. Officially, it's a space to bring your work in progress: knitting, crochet, embroidery, hand-sewing, or any portable craft. Unofficially, it's stitch n' bitch, so bring your vents, rants, and raves as well! Projects that have been seen at a C&C night: unfinished novels, blackout poetry, nail polish, amigurumi, linocut stamping, scrapbooks, bullet journals, washi tape, bracelet-making, cartooning, painting, embroidery, hemming, stuffed animal assembly... Come with your half-finished projects, your tangled yarn, and your need to yap your way through questionable pattern choices. Craft & Connect is a low-pressure, high-conversation hangout where progress is optional and community is the whole point. All skill levels and questions welcome!

🕐 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Bring your Pomodoro Style, your creative chaos, or your precision sticker tools to join Aimee for a morning of planning, journaling, or goal-setting with fellow list-makers, dreamers, and calendar color-coders. We'll have journaling and planner materials out to help you map your month: appointments, events, book goals, and all. It's equal parts productivity and self-care, wrapped up in a calm, creative start to your day. Perfect for Type-A personalities, crafty souls, or anyone who needs a little structure with their coffee.

Textual Healing Book Club
🕐 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Welcome to Textual Healing, the book club where we read romance without apology, from sweet to spicy, and everything (or everyone) deliciously in between. Romance is the highest-grossing genre in publishing for a reason: readers love big feelings, bold desire, and the absolute certainty of a happily-ever-after. We're here to burrow into all of it and live there. Each month, we read romance that ranges from tender slow burns to feral, page-gripping chaos (consensual, of course), and then gather to talk tropes, chemistry, characters, and the sheer joy of a genre that knows exactly what it's doing (and for whom). This is a space for laughing, blushing, debating, and celebrating stories that center pleasure, emotional payoff, and endings that deliver. If you love romance unapologetically or if you're romance-curious and ready to be converted, Textual Healing is your people. Come for the smut. Stay for the feelings.
