Grab your friends and join us after hours on Thursday, February 12, for a special adults-only Valentine’s Day party at the bookstore! Enjoy some themed bites and sips as you chat with booksellers and get custom recommendations based on the books you love, or pick up a blind date book for a fun surprise! We’ll also have a DIY bookmark bar and plenty of cozy nooks for you to curl up with a new book.

We're also excited to host two of our favorite artists for this event! Sheila from Let's Get Inked Tattoos (@letsgetinked_) has created a custom bookish tattoo flash sheet for event attendees and Molly from Creative Chaos Body Care (@mmollay) will be offering piercings with her fantastic selection of implant-grade titanium jewelry.

The $20 ticket fee includes attendance to this after-hours event, snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, and our DIY craft. Tattoo and piercing costs are not included in the ticket.

By attending any and all Old Town Books events you are agreeing to our code of conduct.
