Antidote Books & Records

09/03/2026

We are so excited for our next 6 months of Book Club picks! Our book club members took a series of polls to inform our selection, so in case you’re wondering what we’re like, key words are: weird, literary, deep, horror, funny, spirit, and nature.

We really want you to join our Book Club - please come!!

All book club picks can be purchased from the shop at 10% off.

One year ago, we opened Antidote. For our family, Antidote has been exactly what we hoped it would be: a place built by and for community and a medicine for our overwhelmed spirits. We absolutely love this place. It is impossible to capture all our memories in photos, so we have chosen a smattering - in no particular order - of some favorite moments.

One year down, hopefully many more to go. Thank you for making this little dream possible.

In honor of our anniversary, all purchases are 10% off today!!

Hey, that’s us! Thank you to the hollandsentinel and Detroit Free Press for such cool articles on our beloved Antidote. We love Holland. We love books and records. We love local journalism.

P.S. thank you to Julie for the piece (and for allowed us the nerdy joy of holding Karen Russell and Talking Heads in our photo 🤗)

Thank you so much to outonthelakeshore for a beautiful Pride celebration this weekend! This is one of our favorite events - everyone is so kind and welcoming. We love our town. We love Pride. For all who made the day happen, thank you for creating this oasis of freedom and compassion.

Found the page that started it all. A drawing sloppily made over breakfast at The Biscuit. We didn’t have a name. We didn’t have a business plan. We didn’t even know if our dream space was available. This is how Antidote started: as a messy, grasping, draft of a dream. Thanks for making it real.

Hi friends! We have decided to move our family story time to once a month (first Saturdays) as we approach the busy Summer months. Our next story time will be June 6th at 10:30 am.

We always keep the children’s section equipped with pillows and great selections, so you can come in and create your own story time whenever you’d like!
