The holiday season is kicking off at our Phoenix and Mesa locations with a visit from the Grand Canyon Railway train conductor, who will read to you the classic tale of The Polar Express! The Polar Express is an exciting story about a young boy who is visited by Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Santa sweeps by to take him on an extraordinary journey to the North Pole. At Bookmans, your conductor for the Polar Express will read the story aloud while you sip on delicious hot cocoa. Kids are invited to wear pajamas for a truly delightful and cozy story time experience! At the end of the event you will receive a bell and a commemorative ticket to the Polar Express. All aboard! Join us on Saturday, December 12th, at 3:00 P.M for the Bookmans Mesa story time and at 6:00 P.M. for the Bookmans Phoenix story time.

If you are looking for a fun family event in the West Valley, look no further than Downtown Glendale! As part of this year's Glendale Glitters, they are dedicating the evenings of December 11th & 12th to giving back to our community. The Festival of Giving event was created to pay tribute to all of those organizations and individuals who selflessly make our communities a better place to live! Kids will enjoy a free screening of the movie Madagascar and receive a free Bookmans coupon for attending!
