Saturday Storytime!
Tomorrow
May 30th at 10:00 AM

We love the picture book Piece Out so much that we invited the author/illustrator to come to read it at the Book Bin!

Alex Willan is not only the author of Piece Out, but he also wrote and illustrated the popular series, The Worst!, which includes Unicorns Are the Worst!, Mermaids Are the Worst!, Dragons Are the Worst!, and coming in July, Monsters Are the Worst!.

Please join us!
We love being a special place where you and your family can press pause on the busy world and quiet your thoughts in our friendly store. Spend time with a turtle; feel the rhythm of the train running 'round our children's books. Enjoy the moment.
Just be here with us.

Independent Bookstore Day is the most special day of the year; it is a perfect opportunity to feel like a part of the larger reading community with thousands of other readers shopping at as many bookstores as possible in one day.

We hope to make every day at Book Bin feel like a celebration of books, reading & readers. You know us; we'd rather boost you up than be boosted by you, but on Independent Bookstore Day, we ask for you to shop and show your support.

The Chicagoland Bookstore Crawl
is BACK, and ours is the BIGGEST
Bookstore Crawl in the Country!

If it's your first time celebrating, welcome!
And if you're a repeat crawler, welcome back!

This year, Chicagoland is BACK with 80+ bookstores joining the celebration with our annual Chicagoland Bookstore Crawl!

Each year, Independent Bookstores across the greater Chicago area ~ from Antioch, Grayslake & Libertyville to Glen Ellyn, Lockport, & Naperville to every little bookstore in between ~ the Chicagoland Bookstore Crawl encourages booklovers to indulge in bookstore tourism by visiting 10 or 15 stores in a single day to earn a 10% or 15% discount at participating bookstores all year.

Check out our event on Saturday, Apr 25, 2026.
