Exciting tours, talks, and events in our stores.

Our national book events team and our store managers work closely with college partners to bring important authors, guest speakers, and events to our campus bookstores. We believe our stores should act as a forum for local and national author tours, book fairs, readings, and unique cross-promotional events.
