Events
At Tardigrade’s Bookshelf, we’ve always got something brewing—bookish shenanigans, science-flavored curiosities, and the occasional collaboration with folks who care about the world as much as we do.
We keep the door wide open, the vibes welcoming, and the conversation smarter than whatever’s happening down at the sports bar, bruh. Pull up a chair—let’s mix a little reason, creativity, and delight together.
There are more events hosted in the events space by our building roommates, friends, and family. . . The Velvet Fox! The Velvet Fox specializes in micro weddings, community and private events. Be sure to check out what events are on their side of the building, too!
Monthly Events
We embrace our neurodivergence around here, and yes, that means we love a good pattern. Our recurring events run on a simple, repeatable schedule—no guesswork required. Consistency is the point, but we still mix things up enough that no one’s perpetually stuck on the sidelines.
Generally . . .
Tuesdays are for the arts. Films, crafty stuff, music, etc.
Wednesdays & Thursdays are for our in-house bookclubs.
Fridays & Saturdays are for trivia and other random events.
Sunday is for Lab Days and private events.
Come as you are and join us for the things you love, on the days you’ll always remember.
March is filled with all things Project Hail Mary!
March 14th @ 7:00pm | Space Trivia
Think real astrophysics, famous missions, sci-fi nods, and cosmic weirdness. Bring your smartest friends or your luckiest ones. No astronaut training required.
It’s low-stakes. It’s not competitive. It’s delightfully nerdy.
April 1st @ 6:00pm** | Space Science Talk
** Date Typo on the original poster! We all need to see the movie first! So, the Space talk will be April 1st
Join us for Fox Valley Science Society, where we’ll lovingly dissect what the book and movie got right, and where the physics may have quietly left the building.
Astrophysicist Meg Pickett will guide us through the nitty gritty, the fascinating details, and the “wait… could that actually happen?” moments.
Because around here, we enjoy our fiction with a side of facts.
