When Santa Claus comes to Bookmans, magic happens. Saturday was a most fantastic day with many different x-mas events happening around the store. First we had the lovely volunteers from Altrusa International with us all day wrapping Christmas gifts. Next, Silverwood Duo stopped by for a couple of hours and played some amazing Christmas music while the good people of Bookmans were shopping and the elves were hard at work. Then, true to his word, Jolly ol' St. Nick came in for a visit. He hung out and got his picture taken with his adoring fans, handed out candy canes and was accompanied by Kidz Art. They put together a Christmas craft turning a candy cane into a Christmas mouse. Oh what a great day!

Today at our free Summer Kids Events, Kidz Art was with us making lion, tiger, cat and dog masks. The kids did a great job creating and decorating these fantastic masks. The Girl Scouts were on hand as well making beautiful mosaics--rainbows and butterflies! Check out the pictures from this awesome event! Next week is our last event and we are throwing a back to school party! See you then.

No need to be scared! The wild animals in our store today were merely children in disguise! You see, here at Bookmans we are celebrating the Dog Days of Summer. What that means is that all month long we have had events at all of our stores celebrating the animals in our lives. Today was no different, as we had the nice folks from Kidz Art come down and help our kids to make some pretty sweet masks. Customers coming in this morning may have thought they'd walked into a zoo with all the pandas and lions running around the living room. It was another great kids event today, and makes me all the more sad that last week is our last free summer kids event before school starts back up. Next week is our back to school party, and it's going to be a blast! Plan to come out and have some fun with balloons, face painting and some snacks!
Pictures of the awesome masks we made today can be found on the Flickr page!

At Bookmans Ina, we kicked-off Love of Reading month with our favorite professional art teachers - Kidz Art!! Kids came in and made super cool pop-up books that expressed their personal love of reading. With Valentine's day so close, lots of the kids used heart shapes to make lovely pop-up book Valentines. A few kids opted for the cool dragonfly, and others did designs straight from their imaginations. A big thanks to everyone who came out and participated in this awesome arts and crafts event!!
If you missed the first pop-up book event, don't despair - you can join us on February 20th at Bookmans Speedway. We're celebrating Love of Reading all month long, so be sure to check out our website for more cool events and contests throughout the month!!

Kids also had a fabulous time making one-of-a-kind stockings to take home with the help of the talented art instructors at Kidz Art. And customers enjoyed the convenience of FREE gift wrapping courtesy of Bookmans and the lovely ladies at Altrusa International Tucson.
