BUSIEST. MONTH. EVAH. We still have one more September event on tap for tomorrow night with chef Matthew Kline, but we wanted to get our October events on your radar, because October will be our busiest month of events in store history. In addition to these 13 events, we have several authors scheduled to stop by and sign books, and our BFF Rajani LaRocca will be joining us at DiwaliFest in Boxborough.

It's not just busy for the sake of busy, we have a plethora of really top shelf creators joining us this month. We hope to see you often! Check the events page of our website for more details on each of these events.

You know us, we're always up to something! by @silverunicornbooks

We were moving and grooving at yesterday's epic fourth annual Kids Graphic Novel Festival!!! A gigantic thank you to our staff, volunteers, partners, sponsors, presenters, and of course everyone in our community (and beyond!) who attended! Despite the rainy and gray weather, it was a truly amazing day, and your support means the world to us. by @silverunicornbooks

Thank you to @silverunicornbooks for hosting me, @joshfunkbooks and @reneekurilla for a storytime last Saturday. I’ve wanted to visit the shop for years. I’m thankful I finally made it! What a great store and wonderful audience. Also: see that shirt I’m wearing? It was designed by @jarrett_lerner and he came with his family. So fun! #RootedInWonder by @silverunicornbooks

We had a marvelous time last night with local author Jason Prokowiew and Sudbury native and author Sara Faith Alterman. It was a very moving conversation about fathers, memoirs, and how healing storytelling can be.
