Dear Bookstore Customers,
After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to reschedule all bookstore events scheduled in the coming weeks. Please note that events posted below are active to date but we will continue to follow the guidelines of government mandates and reschedule when required. As a community space, Afterwords Books wants to take a responsible approach to protect the most vulnerable members of our little bookstore family.
