Every first Tuesday at 7 PM
Every first Tuesday at 7 PM
We're partnering with Bearded Iris Brewery for an open book club on the first Tuesday of every month at 7:00 PM. The vibe is chill. There are no tricky questions or pop quizzes. We believe that books are designed to stimulate conversations between friends.
Here are the books for the next few months:
April 8, 2025: Years of Wonder by Geraldine Brooks.
May 6, 2025: Love and Saffron by Kim Fay.
June 2, 2025: Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.
If you didn't buy the book from us, don't worry. If you didn't read the book, don't worry. We'd love for you to come out, grab a Bearded Iris beer, and hang out.
Banned Book Club
Every Second Sunday at 1 PM
Every Second Sunday at 1 PM
Join us at Taylor Street Art and Books for a bold and thought-provoking book club celebrating the power of banned books! Each second Sunday at 1 PM, we’ll dive into a different title that has faced censorship in schools and other institutions, exploring the stories, ideas, and controversies that make these books so important. We'll be discussing the following:
April 13, 2025: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
May 11, 2025: Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel
June 8, 2025: All Boys Aren't Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto by George M. Johnson.
Whether you’re a free speech advocate, a literature lover, or just curious about the books they don’t want you to read, this is your space to engage in open discussions and challenge the status quo.
Come for the conversation, stay for the freedom to read.
What are you doing 4/20? From 2 PM to 4 PM, here in Germantown, we will be hosting our first-ever adult Easter egg hunt. Hop over to Bearded Iris, grab a beer and a game board, and explore our building for fun prizes. Many can play. And many can win.
