Happy Medium Books Café in Jacksonville, FL, is the best bookstore for book events, book signings, Book Club meetings, ArtTalks, and writing classes
Happy Medium Books Café is THE community bookstore hotspot in Jacksonville, FL, for book events, book signings, Book Club meetings, ArtTalks, and writing classes from national award-winning authors and writers. Mothers love Saturday’s Storytime for children where kids listen intensely to a book reading, play on the train table, or sleep on the tiny couch. Older folks come to knit, listen to the music or meet their friends and just hang out in our little community meeting place. Be sure to check our Events weekly – you may find something you don’t want to miss. Bring a friend, too!
“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”
Ernest Hemingway
