Cloudy skies without, warm colours and twinkling lights within… we’re wrapping up October and looking forward to November at our little bookstore that’s bigger on the inside.
Thanks to everyone who came out to our Spoooky Crafts event this past Saturday and to our Doctor Who Meetup on Sunday.
We can’t let October end without one more mention of our favourite holiday, Halloween, so… on Thursday the 31st, from 10am until 8pm, we will have treats here at the bookstore for costumed trick-or-treaters.
Here’s our schedule for upcoming events… As a reminder, the majority of our events here at ABSW are free and open to the public. Check out our page on SocialWeb.net!
