Quimby’s Bookstore founder Steven Svymbersky is visiting from Quimby’s Bookstore NYC! He’ll hang out all day with us on Thurs, May 26th from noon to 6pm, perhaps regaling us in the City of the Big Shoulders with stories of bookselling in the Big Apple, or perhaps reminiscing about Wicker Park in the 90s. Who’s to say? Come, say hi and have a bitch session about how much cooler this neighborhood used to be.

Facebook invite here.

Zine Club Chicago Online: Cut-and-Paste Conundrums Edition
7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, May 24 on Zoom
Free!

We all have those zines in our collections … the ones that represent some sort of mystery. Perhaps we can’t remember where we picked up a particular title, or we wish we could find out more about an enigmatic zinemaker. Or maybe the zine’s content explores a puzzling subject. This month, Zine Club Chicago will revel in (any possibly even unravel) the questions posed by the most intriguing zines we own. 

Grab your favorite cryptic zines, BYOS(nacks), and join us on Zoom for Zine Club Chicago Online: Cut-and-Paste Conundrums Edition at 7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, May 24!

** RSVP required ** We want to make sure that our online Zine Club Chicago events are a safe space, so we won’t be releasing the Zoom link publicly.

Yet again, Chicagoland proves itself to be the dream destination for book lovers and readers of all ages! Quimby’s joins more than two dozen independent bookstores in the greater Chicago area — from Lake Forest to Beverly, and Naperville to the Loop — in collaborating on a third annual Chicagoland Bookstore Crawl, which encourages book lovers to indulge in bookstore tourism by visiting 10 or more stores in a single day.

The annual challenge is being held again on Independent Bookstore Day (IBD), which is a one-day national party celebrating indie book stores on the last Saturday in April. Each store creates its own unique events—including guest authors, special kids’ story times, readings, contests, giveaways, and special sales.

How to Participate…

Take photos at each participating independent bookstore you visit on Independent Bookstore Day. Share your photos on social media with the hashtag #ChiLoveBooks

• Visit TEN stores in one day and get 10% off at all participating bookstores for an ENTIRE YEAR!

• Visit FIFTEEN stores in one day and get 15% off at all participating bookstores for an ENTIRE YEAR!

On your last bookstore visit share your bookstore photos to verify your visits.

Readers are encouraged to post a snapshot of themselves and their Independent Bookstore Day haul on social media with the hashtag #ChiLoveBooks
