Book lovers, you have heard the old adage "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it!" Well, here is your chance to prepare yourself for the future. Join the Village Books Armchair Historians Book Group - "understanding the past!" We meet the second Monday of every month from 7pm to 8:30pm in the Readings Gallery to chat, discuss, and dissect the most current and interesting history being written. We will cover all eras and topics in our quest to "know history". Join us! Authors DO NOT attend.

Village Books is pleased to be part of Fairhaven Winterfest! One of our favorite events each year is the Tales of the Season Writing event. Participants are asked to submit 300-500-word non-fiction stories inspired by a specific prompt and this year, the prompt was "SNOW DAY".

Join us in the Readings Gallery on December 14 at 6:30 where selected submissions will be shared.

Come and be whisked away to their favorite "Snow Day" memories!
