Sleepy Dog Books Evening Book Club

The Evening Book Club meets the third Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm. The discussions are friendly, informal, and informative. The group’s numbers change with the season, usually from four to twelve. Led by Riley Justis, the goal of the group is to “explore books we’d not necessarily seek out on our own.” This adventurous group welcomes anyone who has read the book. Please jump right in and join!

SDB Story Time (for children  up to 5 yrs)

Read, talk, sing, write and play! That’s what we’ll do today! SDB Story Time models these five practices to support development of early literacy skills. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate in the fun and learning! Come join story time every Wednesday from 11-11:30am, led by Jenny Justis.

Philosopher's Book Club

Every Friday morning, come and join the Philosopher's Books Club to discuss the latest books, news and goings on in Mid-Michigan, the Nation and beyond. Hosted by Riley Justis, this club is a non-partisan, news discussion group with a focus on  intellectual conversation surrounding current events.  The group meets from 6:30-7:30am. Local and national papers will be available for purchase. 

SDB Live Music Series 

In partnership with the Downtown Development Authority and the Mt. Pleasant Performing Arts Center, come enjoy live music on our outdoor patio, pick up a book, and explore the beautiful downtown of Mt. Pleasant! SDB Live Music Series performances are every Thursday 3:00- 5:30 from Late May to Early October (weather dependent). 

Women's Life Book Club

The WL Book Club of women (although not necessarily required) welcomes everyone, whether or not they have read the book. We’re friendly, of all ages, love to laugh and sometimes cry. We talk strictly about the book, and afterwards, a little about life. The group meets the first and third Friday of every month at 10:00 a.m. for an hour, more or less. The WL Book Club meets year round and is open to anyone who wishes to join for a day or a season.

Donut  Dates

Start the weekend off sweet! SDB Donut Dates takes place the  first Saturday of the month from 8-9:30am. Come in for a FREE donut for you and your bookstore date. Enjoy a good donut, a great book, and amazing company. Parents bring your kid/s, bring your significant other, neighbor, or meet someone here!
