About this Event

As your local hub for books and community, Elizabeth's Bookshop & Writing Centre has established regular opportunities for readers looking to make new friends and build community.

BIPOC Reader Meetups are from 12:00-2:00 the Second Saturday of every month. From 12:00-1:00, bring a book or purchase one from our shelves and READ. Carving out designated time to read each week is an act of self care! You deserve it!

Then, from 1:00-2:00, enjoy unstructured social time with other BIPOC readers. Find out what others are reading or recommend you favorite books to others. It's also a great time to meet people in the community looking for friends.


We offer three types of Reader Meetups for different interests and demographics:

Queer Readers Meetup: First Saturday of Each Month

BIPOC Readers Meetup: Third Thursday of Each Month

All Readers Meetup: Last Saturday of Each Month


If you are new to the group, we welcome you! If we’re not gathered in the cafe when you arrive, you can find us in the small community room in the back. In addition to enjoying time with a safe, inclusive community, just mention that you’re part of the meetup and you’ll receive 10% off any drink at 647 Coffee.
