Event Type 2: Virtual Event

February is Black History Month and we are celebrating every week with a Storytime. Join us every Friday morning at 10:00 am on Instagram or Facebook Live @BookmansEast for a weekly storytime, highlighting African American children’s book authors.

Of course, it is so important to celebrate and learn about cultural diversity year-round, and Bookmans works every day to ensure that our stores are a safe place filled with diversity and inclusion. It is our hope that these storytimes will help us share the rich and complex history of African Americans through the words of incredibly talented authors.

We will be hosting a virtual trivia night with Flagstaff Team Trivia. The event will be hosted via Zoom meeting and is entirely free!

To sign up please email Flagevents@bookmans.com. Participants will be quizzed on a variety of topics that can range from geography and history to pop culture and science. Specific themes can be requested. The show is usually made up of eight custom trivia rounds consisting of five questions each. Detailed instructions on how to play will be explained to participants at the beginning of the show. Zoom information will be provided prior to the event.

KA-POW! This March, we are celebrating the legacy of Will Eisner, the father of the graphic novel. Eisner has inspired millions of creators throughout the past hundred years and Bookmans will be featuring creators throughout Southern Arizona.

Join us on the @BookmansEast Facebook and Instagram feed at 12:00pm throughout the first week of March as we celebrate our favorite local creators, artists, and small local businesses in all things geeky. We will be featuring art tutorials, time-lapses, panels, gaming, interviews, and more.

Board games are an outstanding way to pass the time and since we are all stuck inside, we have decided to host a virtual board game night. How do we plan on pulling this off, you ask? As you may know, Bookmans has a gigantic selection of tabletop board games. We have handpicked our favorite games that can fit a virtual setting and will be playing them on Zoom this March 26th from 6:00-8:00.
