Join us for Story time Magic!
Every 1st and 3rd Saturday, children ages 1–6 and their favorite grown-ups are invited to a joyful morning of stories, songs, and crafts at the bookshop!
We'll kick things off with our cheerful welcome song, read a couple of delightful picture books, and end with a sweet farewell tune. After story time, head to our event room where kids can get creative during open craft time—all materials provided!
On Saturday Oct 18th, we will have a special author reading of Grizelda The Green Hates Halloween by A.A. Livingston.
