We've got some books and other stuff. And someone who wrote a book, he'll be coming here. I guess. I guess it's just hard to get excited about anything in this store since Wellesley Booksmith is hosting Suzanne Collins tonight! The author of the landslide hit The Hunger Games trilogy will be reading from the final book at the Wellesley Free Library at 6pm tonight. Venture out west and make a family evening of it!
We have one big event to hold this week down, with Alan Khazei, co-founder of City Year and founder and CEO of Be the Change, Inc. He'll be here Thursday night at 7pm to discuss public policy and action.
I don't know if you've noticed the spreading forest of racks which have been slowly eating up free space in aisle 4..? We have calendars for everyone, no lie. Travelers, cat-fanciers, Buddhists, vintage hunters, nun admirers, and a whole bunch of new kinds of calendars that are like desk organizers for your wall. I know it seems early to be thinking about calendars for 2011, but time is merely an illusion, after all.

Preschoolers ages 3-5 get to see puppet shows especially for them on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 10:30am at The Puppet Showplace in Brookline Village! It's a lifesaver when you need a morning of entertainment (and a moment to stop the everspinning wheel of errands and chores). Performances run Wed-Thu 10:30am; Sat-Sun 1pm and 3pm, ages: 3 and up.
Take a look at the Brookline Historical Society's terrific collection of images that show what our historic town looked like way back when. Browse by neighborhood, and who knows, maybe that's your great grandpa in that buggy!
