Events
At Tardigrade's Bookshelf, we host a variety of events throughout the year, including weekly gatherings, special events, and collaborative projects with mission-aligned businesses and organizations. Rooted in our love for science and discovery, our activities aim to spark curiosity, foster critical thinking, and celebrate the joy of learning. We strive to create a welcoming space where the community can come together in a positive, engaging, and thoughtful way—blending reason, creativity, and fun!
Monthly Events
At our bookbar, we embrace our neurodivergence - and that means we like keeping things predictable. Our repeating events follow a simple pattern, so you never have to guess what’s happening when.
Tuesdays are for the arts.
Thursdays are for book clubs.
Saturday Mornings are for getting your reading time in.
Sunday is for experimenting.
Come as you are and join us for the things you love, on the days you’ll always remember.
Until we open, we are only running LGTBQ bookclub, Horror bookclub, Spicy bookclub, and Science bookclub (Science bookclub doesn’t start until March). All other events will start when we officially open.

The Breakfast Club
This may be odd to some, but for others. . . Heaven! Every Saturday morning will be silent reading time with gentle background lyric-less music. Bring whatever you’re reading and just read. No lengthy discussion, just enjoy the chill. We’ll break mid way for five minutes and you can tell your reading neighbor at the barstool next to you what you’re reading. Parallel play for grown-ups. . that’s what this is.
STARTS AFTER OPEN DATE
First Sunday | 11-12 ish
Lab Day
Join us while we test out bold flavors and unexpected creations for upcoming bookbar menus! Your ticket includes multiple rounds of experimental mocktails and coffee drinks—some might be genius, some might be... a work in progress. Either way, you get to sip, savor, and experience the madness.
