Educator Discount Kick Off Event
Start: 12:00 pm

Old Firehouse Books is now going to offer all teachers with school ID a 10% discount.  We admire teachers and want to show our appreciation for all the hard work that they do. 

To kick off this new program, we have two kids’ events at the store.  We’ll be featuring the authors of Artsy Fartsy, a great new book for kids who loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney.  It will get your kid more interested in creativity, too! 

We will also have Terry Kroenung, author of Brimstone and Lily, another wonderful imaginative book for kids who have moved past Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  Expect lots of fun for your kids to watch and do!

Strange Worlds Book Club Meeting: The Terror
Start: 6:00 pm

You’ll want to read this month’s selection next to a roaring fire with a hot beverage.  The Terror by Dan Simmons is a fictionalized account of the true story of a British expedition that went missing while searching for the Northwest Passage.  Hugo-winning Simmons is at the top of his craft in this terrifying yarn of ships locked in ice, mutinous crews, and a terrifying creature that has all the advantages in the frozen North.

Cooking the Books Book Club Meeting
