Events
At Tardigrade’s Bookshelf, we’ve always got something happening. . . bookish shenanigans, science nerdiness, and max collaborations with folks who care about the world as much as we do. We prioritize welcoming vibes and conversation smarter than whatever’s happening down at the sports bar.
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, concerts, drag shows 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.

History doesn't preserve itself.
Every archive, every oral history, every photograph, every story that survives is there because someone decided it was worth saving.
This Saturday, we're excited to host Halfway to Becksmas, a drag show benefiting the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project—an incredible volunteer-powered nonprofit that's spent more than 30 years documenting, preserving, and celebrating Wisconsin's LGBTQ history. They maintain the state's largest digital collection of LGBTQ historical materials and work to make sure these stories aren't forgotten.
Yup, you'll get an amazing drag show.
