We’ll be celebrating all day with:

📚 Book specials
🍻 Drink specials
🎁 Giveaways
✍️ Local Author Book Signing at 1:00 PM

We’re excited to welcome Humboldt local Phyllis Johnson for a special book signing featuring her book, An Archive of an Ordinary Life! Stop in at 1:00 PM to meet Phyllis, grab a copy, and have it signed!

And, of course, we’ll have plenty of reasons to hang around, browse the shelves, have a drink, and help us celebrate another year of Night Owl. ❤️

We truly wouldn’t be here without everyone who has walked through our doors, bought a book, grabbed a beer, joined a book club, came to an event, or simply told a friend about us.
