Thursday mornings are for tiny tot book lovers. Bring you wee ones to Big Hill Books for Storytime with our talented Friends of Big Hill Books volunteer readers.

Revenge of the Tipping Point is our May Book Club pick. On the 25^th anniversary of The Tipping Point, author Malcolm Gladwell writes a whole new book to reframe some of the same topics through the lens of our transformed, post-pandemic world. Pick up your copy at the shop or order online today.

Big Hill Books is open 7–9 p.m. for you and your special someone to drop by for date night. Consider it a casual, low-key night out for the two of you after a nice dinner or matinee. Who knows?
