Halloween Story Time and Craft with Janet Nolan and Patricia Toht
Halloween is almost here! Are you ready? Join us for a spooky and sweet story time with local authors Janet Nolan and Patricia Toht. Settle in for their stories, Get Ready for Halloween and Pick a Pumpkin, then make a festive pumpkin craft to take home.
Bookstore Write-In
There’s something inspiring about writing among other writers--and while surrounded by books! Join us for an after-hours write-in at the bookshop. There will be time to chat for a bit at the start, followed by quiet writing with an optional prompt in case you need something to get your pen moving. Bring your laptop or notebook and we’ll make progress on our writing projects together.
