A Month of Merriment is Heading Your Way!
There’s tons of festive cheer to end the year at your local Bookmans this December! Of course, you can’t have much Christmas cheer without a visit from Santa Claus! Bookmans has been in touch with jolly ol’ St. Nick and he assures us that he will be visiting with all the kids at our Bookmans stores! It’s a good idea to mail those letters to him ahead of time, and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing on December 1st at Bookmans East with our Letters to Santa event. Bisbee Breakfast Club’s East location is providing cookie snacks for the kids. We’re also working with Alex’s Free Little Library in Tucson to get those letters mailed ASAP so they’ll get a letter back!
To get your photos taken with Santa in Tucson, head over to Bookmans Northwest and Midtown. Santa will also be in Phoenix on the 15th, at Mesa on December 22, and sipping cocoa at snowy Bookmans Flagstaff. Considering getting or giving a pet for the holiday? Be sure to visit Bookmans East for their Santa Paws pet adoption event!
On December 1, Bookmans will also be at the Community Holiday Ornament Party at HeatSync Labs in Downtown Mesa, Phoestivus Open Air Market at, Merriment on Melrose, and Merry Main Street – “Gingerbread Rock. What’s easier than grabbing the perfect gifts for everyone on your list all in one place? Having them wrapped too! That’s why Bookmans Northwest’s Wrap it Up with Project Linus event is going to be packed! We need your votes in Tucson because some local high schools are competing in the first ever Bookmans Upcycled Holiday Decoration Challenge! For every vote counted, Bookmans will donate .25 to Youth on Their Own – up to $500 for the holidays!

Board games are also in store at Midtown’s Board Game Night event. Dungeons & Dragons is hotter than ever, and Bookmans wants to be your D&D destination! Our Northwest store has not one but two D&D events on December 22nd and 23rd while everyone will be rolling 20-sided dice at Dungeons and Dragons 101 at Midtown on the 26th!

There are also plenty of Pokemon Meet-ups, Pileups, and Pokemon League – Hosted by Team Rocket AZ events at your local Bookmans!
Phew! That’s a lot of free events, but believe it or not, there’s even more happening each and every day at a Bookmans store near you. There are also tons of gifts for every member of the family. We’ve got everything from premade gift baskets, gift cards, journals, video games, and so much more!
