We open Monday through Friday at 10 a.m. We close at 4 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Wednesdays, we remain open until 8 p.m. In November, we close at 4 p.m. on Wednesdays to accommodate partner programming with the West Michigan Author Alliance.

We close on Saturday and Sunday, except for special events.

Given our shoestring staffing model, we sometimes need to close unexpectedly for various reasons. When we do, we (usually) post a sign on the door and make a blog post.

  • We are closed Monday, October 21, and potentially Tuesday the 22nd because Jason is out with a sinus infection.
  • On Wednesdays from 10/30 until 12/4, we close at 4 p.m. Salons are canceled because of conflicts with partner programming with the West Michigan Author Alliance.

We close for the weather when Wyoming Public Schools closes.

We are closed on Sundays, select civil/Catholic holidays, and planned business inservice days. The 2024 calendar of closures includes:

  • New Year's (01/02 Jan 2024)
  • Good Friday (29 March 2024)
  • Memorial Day (27 May 2024)
  • Independence Day (Long) Weekend (04/05 July 2024)

  • The End of the Year (closed the two weeks of Christmas and New Years – closed 12/23 to reopen on 1/6/25; this closure helps us to recharge, deep clean, plan for the new year, and reconcile inventory)

For literary events and writers' groups, we cheerfully open our doors on days and times outside of our normal operating hours, provided we have advance notice of the intended activity.
