Upcoming Events

I am thankful for all the customers who patronize my little indie bookstore and for customers who have also become friends over the past 15 years! Fun Fact: I have met several customers from out of the area or out of state (most recently Alaska!) who have made it a point to come to Book Carnival because it was on their bucket list… that alone makes having this bookstore worth every moment to me. Thank you, All!

Our Saturday Sleuths Book Club is dark this month, but if your resolutions include reading more, meeting new people, and making new friends… then be sure to look for us in January, 2025! We are an in-person book club meeting on the 3rd Saturday of each month at 9:30 A.M., and open to new members. Join us and bring a friend!

PLEASE NOTE we had schedule changes for ROBERT CRAIS now on January 18, and GREGG HURWITZ now on March 2. In addition, we added an event on Saturday, January 4, with three authors. We hope to see you at these events.
