Tiny Tots Storytime
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.

HANDS OFF Protest Sign Workshop
Feeling motivated to DO SOMETHING? Join us to make protest signs for the April 5th HANDS OFF Protest March at the state capitol. Big Hill Books will provide the cardboard and the space if you can bring paints, brushes, markers, tape, more cardboard and any other supplies. Be prepared to make new friends!
Planning to attend the march at noon, April 5? Sign up here.

First Friday Date Night
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? Maybe you’ll find your next great reads together. This month, local Bryn Mawr musician Deacon Warner will be live on stage.

JOIN US: Big Hill Books Book Club
Tree. Table. Book., by Lois Lawry, is our BHB Book Club pick for April. At Big Hill Books, we believe middle grade fiction is often a great choice for adults. And Tree. Table. Book. tops our list. Pick up your copy at the shop or order online today.

Cartooning with Matt Eicheldinger
Hey kids, ages K-6th grade! Want to learn to draw the hilarious and unforgettable Matt Sprouts, the star of Matt Sprouts and the Curse of the Ten Broken Toes? Join us for this fun event, and you’ll also create a cartoon version of yourself that brings your personality to life on paper. Plus, as a special treat, you’ll take home a custom self-portrait drawn just for you by Matt Eicheldinger, a local New York Times bestselling author and illustrator.

Early Reader Storytime
Bring your early readers of all ages and their friends. Our talented storytime volunteers will choose selected titles every child will love. This weekly event is a chance for kids to learn to love reading and books.
Open Mic Night
Join us the third Saturday of every month for Open Mic Night. Big Hill Books will provide the stage, the spotlight, two mics and a speaker. You provide the music, comedy, magic, storytelling, poetry and singing. RSVPs encouraged but not required. If you’re game, then so are we. See you there!

A Lesser Light
Fans of The Ski Jumpers, Northernmost, and Wintering can join Minnesota author Peter Geye for a discussion about his latest novel. It’s a story of selfhood and determination on the shores of Lake Superior at the turn of the 20th Century.

Early Reader Storytime
Your early reader has never attended a storytime like this before! Based on a funny conversation with his sibling’s kids, local author Bill Svoboda has written a very entertaining book about a subject no one has considered before. And this storytime offers a big bonus — stick figure drawing practice with the author himself! Your kids won’t want to miss this event. RSVPs encouraged but not required.
