We moved from one cozy corner to another in February 2020! Read about it here.
News, news, news!
We publish a newsletter approximately every 3 weeks that features upcoming events, promotions, recommended readings, and other important announcements.
Here are some of our previous & upcoming programs:
Where’s Waldo?
For several years now our bookstore has participated in LCF’s Where’s Waldo? Event. This exciting event is our most popular annual program! It’s a chance for students and families to support local businesses through a fun game of searching for Waldo, and this year we had over 25 businesses join in on the fun!
Author Panel Event
On July 14th, 2024, we had one of our ongoing author panel events featuring authors Ann Bernath, Chick Lewis, and Jemela Macer. Our lovely authors shared about their career journeys and discussed each of their books with the audience.
CCLCF Book Club
Presented by the Community Center of La Canada Flintridge (CCLCF) and Flintridge Bookstore, we coordinate a fun for 50+ Book Club! Meetings are held at CCLCF at 1PM on the 4th Thursday of every month to read and discuss literature. The book is free with your registration! Register online at cclcf.org.
The next meeting is on Thursday, August 22nd. The discussion book is “Soul of an Octopus” by Sy Montgomery. The discussion book for September’s meeting, “Sea of Tranquility” by Emily St. John Mandel, will be distributed at the August meeting.

Indie bookstores year after year earn gold medals in personal book recommendations, community support, local job creation, building relationships, and championing debut and diverse authors!
Monthly Themes
Every month, there are a handful of national book-themed days! On August 17, 2024, indie bookstores across the country will celebrate and promote romance fiction novels. You can read more about it here: Bookstore Romance Day.
