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. It’s never too early to introduce children to books. Local children’s author Melanie Heuiser Hill and other volunteers lead our Tiny Tots Thursday Storytime program.

Join us for the fun on Open Mic Night. RSVPs encouraged but not required. Big Hill Books provides the stage, the spotlight, two mics and a speaker. You provide the music, comedy, storytelling, poetry, magic tricks and singing. If you’re game, then so are we. See you there!

Every Friday night, Big Hill Books is open until 9 p.m. for you and your special someone to drop by for date night and some live music. Consider it a casual, low-key night out for the two of you after a nice dinner or matinee. Bring your partner, your mom, your friend, your dog or just yourself. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find your next great reads together.

The Last Bookseller by local author and retired bookstore owner Gary Goodman is our February BHB Book Club pick. Mr. Goodman will join the group in person for this discussion. RSVPs encouraged but not required. Stop by our shop to buy a copy or order from us online today.

February’s pick is How We Learn To Be Brave, by Mariann Edgar Budde. Pre-order your copy today.

The Quit Lit Book Club is more than just a book club. It’s a community of like-minded women who are not only ready to dive deep into books that inspire and empower, but also who are committed to living authentically while embracing change, and supporting one another in our journeys.

Calling all book lovers! In honor of Valentine’s Day, it’s a special Open Mic Night edition — Speed Dating with Books. Join us on stage with a copy of your favorite book, your current read, the book you hid from your parents growing up — basically any book you’ve read that you can “book talk” in 90 seconds or less. Convince at least one customer to buy the book, and you’ll receive 10 percent off your entire purchase this night.

Join author Grant Chemidlin for a conversation about his new book of poetry, In the Middle of a Better World. It's a queer guide to love and identity, a collection both formally inventive and infused with a bright, shimmering imagination. Part elegy, part battle cry, this highly anticipated new collection is unabashedly joyous in its exploration of desire, human connection, and community—those we’re born into and those we build ourselves. RSVPs encouraged but not required.

BHB's Romance Book Club meets the third Friday of each month. In February, in honor of the Winter Olympics, join us for Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. Local romance genre enthusiast Maddy Hohenstein leads our romance book club. RSVPs encouraged but not required. Pre-order your copy today.
