Welcome! Thank you for visiting JG's Used Books, LLC. This is a used bookstore that just opened in the old downtown area of Imlay City conveniently off of Van Dyke (M-53) and only a few miles north of I-69! The bookstore's hours are Sundays from 10am to 7pm | Monday thru Wednesday from 6pm to 10pm. JG's Used Books is really more than a used bookstore, it is a new and growing community of bookworms and bookdragons with several activities available on the evenings and days the bookshop is open for bookworms to participate in and spend time with and meet other bookworms in the area to talk books and enjoy time together. Currently, the activities schedule is as follows:
For all activities there are no costs to participate, purchases are not required, you can bring your own non-alcoholic beverages; bottle water is supplied free of charge to participants. Soon coffee and tea will as well! |
About Readers Club: Readers club is not a traditional bookclub. Rather, it is a gathering of readers who come together to talk about books that they are reading on their own, to share thoughts and suggestions, and enjoy time with other bookworms. It is a casual easy-going evening out for readers to talk books! Each gathering is started with a kick-off question for discussion and a participant is picked to moderate the discussion basically to keep the discussion going if the conversation flags, which has not been an issue in the past. About Writers Club:" Writers club is a gather of bookworms who are also interested in creative writing at all skill levels. It was conceptualized based upon the classic novel, The Decameron: where a topic is picked and each of the participants writes a short story based upon that topic or idea. The current topic is an individual walking down a street has a psychotic episode every time he/she passes a business front doorway . . . In addition, at the gathering times writers will share ideas, work on the above project and also write in response to writing prompts to share ideas and feedback. About Rotating Wednesday Evenings: Each Wednesday of the Month has a different bookworm activity. The First Wednesday of Each Month is boardgame and chess night. The shop has numerous boardgames available, but you can bring your favorite to play too! The shop also has several varieties of chess that can be played. The Second Wednesday of the Month is Dungeons and Dragons Night for All Skill Levels. The shop will have a Fifth Edition availalbe for players; but players are encouraged to bring their own as well. The Third Wednesday of each month is for single bookworms (actually single, not poly or etc) to mix and mingle with other single bookworms. The Fourth Wednesday of the month is crafting and drawing/sketching night. So if you like to draw or sketch or enjoy other crafts (paper, knitting, crochet, etc) this is a great day to come relax with other bookworms and enjoy doing your crafting together whatever that may be. All the above start at 6:30 and go until whenever. |
