Restoried Bookshop

Second Saturdays Silent Reading Book Club
2026-03-14 15:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago) | Restoried Bookshop, 4613 North Kedzie Ave, Chicago, IL, 60625, United States
Join us for our monthly Silent Reading Book Club!
We’ll bring the background music, seating, and vibes. You bring whatever you’re reading, a beverage, and maybe even a friend.
Let’s read together for 45 minutes and then either say hi to a neighbor or finish up that chapter.
If you don’t have anything to read yet- come through a little early and we’ll help you find something you’ll enjoy!

Primary Election Day - Opening at 3:30 PM
2026-03-17 15:30 - 18:30
Have you voted yet?
Do you have a plan to vote?
Did you know that you can do same-day voter registration, if you’re eligible to vote?
If you need to check your registration, find your polling place, or literally any other question about voting in Chicago, check out the board of elections website!
I spent years working in election protection and get out the vote efforts so taking part in our democracy by voting is important to me- as I hope it is to you! So we’ll be opening late on March 17th at 3:30pm so I can spend the morning doing what I’ve done every election for years- help make sure folks are able to get out and cast their ballots as a part of the long-term work of making our voices heard.
As a little special bonus for folks that have read this far- we’ll be giving folks 10% off in-store purchases on Election Day if you come in with this year’s I Voted sticker (mail in, early voting, or election day voting- just so long as you voted).
