Use Our Space for Your Reading Group

If you have an ongoing reading group, or are thinking about starting one, please feel free to contact us. We have space for up to 15 people, with chairs and tables if needed. If you wish to have refreshments, we will make a place for you to set up. We also close the store to outside visitors while your reading group meets, to ensure your meeting is not interrupted. A staff member will always be available and clean up after you are gone.

We also are willing to order books, used or new, for reading groups, and charge only 10% over cost.

We prefer reading groups meet no earlier than 7 p.m. and end by 9:30 p.m. Monday - Saturday.

To see where our shop is located and pictures of our space, please see our About Us pages.
