There will be an excess of fun at Village Books this holiday season! The Grinch is coming yet again. This time he will pay two visits to the Fairhaven store, both on Friday, November 25. Then he will be in Lynden on Saturday November 26 for one appearance. While I’m on the subject of visits, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be following the Grinch in Lynden on Saturday, December 17 so folks can get their pictures taken with them too! In addition, a series of other fun events await.

Village Books is thrilled to be hosting Kathleen Dean Moore on Saturday, December 3 to present her first novel, “Piano Tide.” Known for her brilliant environmental writing in books like “Wild Comfort” and “Moral Ground” it is so exciting to now be celebrating her first foray into fiction!
Peter Ames Carlin, author of “Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul Simon,” will be here on December 6. This follows closely on the heals of his bestselling book, “Bruce” about the Boss himself. Peter Carlin will be playing some songs of Simon’s.
Unless otherwise noted, all events are free and take place in the Readings Gallery at Village Books at 1200 11th Street, Bellingham, WA, 98225.
