Extended Holiday Hours!!
 

Books on B will be open for you in December SIX days a week!

All Sundays, we’ll be open for you from 10 am to 2 pm, to maximize your holiday cheer!



 

Time for Hayward Police Department’s toy drive for Hayward families in need!

This year, there are 80 families we’re looking to take care of, especially kiddos between 12 and 18.  Now, through December 7th, you’re welcome to drop off new unwrapped items purchased elsewhere in our barrel.

Any item purchased at Books on B for the drive will be discounted 25%.

Here’s to making the youngest among us happy this holiday season!


Saturday, December 1st

We're open 9 am to 7 pm!


3:30-6:30 pm

Join us in the spirit of the season by visiting downtown during ‘Light Up the Season.’ We’ll have hot spiced cider and ginger snaps to add to the festivities!
 



Books on B’s window is a collaboration with Eden Interfaith Council, with books celebrating winter holidays around the world, and within the rich diversity of our community— all of us look for more light and love during these darker days!

Aunt Marie reads The Polar Express, a wintry tale of wonder!
 






12-4 pm

Check off your list by shopping at our pop-up shop of print artist Karen Chrysiliou!

You’ve loved her cards in the store, now, for one day only, see the spectrum of her wares of tasteful textiles — such as pouches, towels, and totes, all made in the USA, and printed in San Francisco!

 



 

5:30-7pm

Join us for a FREE after-hours event, with the beloved instructor and spellbinding storyteller Lance McVay!  

Spinning newly crafted yarns, as well as drawing from his just-released second edition of ‘Lighthouse Tales’, Lance creates a theater of the mind that will last well beyond our evening together....and best suited for listeners ages 10 and up.

Seating is limited, sign up today! 




Friday, December 21

11 am Sara Lamnin reads one of the stories that’s at the heart of Books on B — love indeed has made us real!

Sara gives so beautifully to our community, and this shop, and I’ll be grateful forevermore to know her.



Saturday, December 22

12-4pm - Pop-up with jewelry artist Cori Crooks

Plan on visiting during our pop-up with jewelry artist and Hayward native Cori Crooks! (Sunset High, Class of 87!)  

When she is not creating music (remember the Watersigns? Swoon!) or writing books, she is making one-of-a-kind miniature tile jewelry — born from thoughts about history, social class, and pop culture. Blending old new, exploring traditional crafts and techniques, while giving them a modern twist, her colorful creations have been featured at the SFMOMA Artists Gallery, The California Museum, The Oakland Museum and is currently available at local museum gift shops — learn more about this local, lovely maker at CoriCrooks.com 

Remember, shop local this holiday season and earn prizes!




 
There’s always Books on B gift certificates!
 
Never scratchy; always fits!








 


Why, yes, we will be closed Tuesday 25th for Christmas, and Tuesday January 1st, New Year’s Day — see you on those following Wednesdays!

You are the greatest gift to this bookseller’s life, readers — let’s look forward to this next year together with a renewed spirit!

With all my love,
                          Renee
