Pack your TBR and go-to book recs, and join us for a Valentine’s bookshop social inspired by our most beloved fictional worlds. This cozy, imaginative evening is all about connection, curiosity, and shared stories—romantic or otherwise. Event participants must be 18 years old or older.
Whether you’re hoping to make new friends, enjoy the holiday with your favorite crew, swap book recommendations, or maybe even flirt a little while enjoying an evening of exploring imaginary destinations with fellow readers, you’re welcome here.
Each attendee will receive a wristband, one complimentary drink from our full bar, and a custom drink tag for the night. Our bar will feature limited-time, bookish Valentine’s cocktails and mocktails inspired by famous fictional places, with additional drinks available for purchase.
You’ll also receive a Bookstore Connection Passport, your ticket to traveling the stacks. This small, folded card includes space to collect 3 book recommendations and the names of 3 new people you meet along the way. Guests who show a completed passport by the end of the evening will be entered into a raffle to win a spectacular bookish prize!
Throughout the evening, explore genre “destinations” and optional activities designed to help you connect at your own pace while you browse the shelves and find your next literary match. Come solo or with friends!
