Our Monthly Offerings
At A Better Today Books and Boutique, we offer community events on a monthly basis. Every event listed below is consistently hosted on the same day every month. We would love to see you at any of our upcoming events!
Book Swap
Love discovering new books? Bring up to 6 gently used books and swap them with fellow readers. Books should be in good condition and free of writing, highlighting, or markings; ideally a book that is popular, recently published, or a classic.
We want this to be an opportunity for everyone to get new and exciting books, not just to get rid of unwanted books.
Sip wine or herbal tea, browse the swap tables, have bookish conversations, and enjoy a Bookish Show & Tell!

Chapter Book Club
The Chapter Book Club is a nonfiction-focused group where we read books that encourage our overall well-being, whether that’s emotional, mental, spiritual, or social.
The unique part? Each person selects the chapters they want to focus on with no pressure to finish a set amount before we meet. It’s all about learning, sharing, and growing at our own pace.

No Scroll Social
In a time when it can be hard to disconnect from our devices, we want to make it one step easier for you to intentionally spend some time offline.
Join us for a laid-back evening of board games, puzzles, coloring, and "in-person" social time. You can capture the moment with your phone, but no scrolling :)
It's about enjoying real connection, shared experiences, and being fully present in the company of others.
