About Commonplace Lit
A commonplace book is a single place where you collect and organize quotations, ideas, inspiration, excerpts, and personal reflections from multiple sources. This tradition dates back thousands of years to Ancient Greece and Rome.
We're bringing this tradition into the modern age by creating a community where readers can share their thoughts, engage in meaningful discussions, and celebrate the books that shape our lives.
Birdhouse Books & Gifts
We meet monthly at this wonderful independent bookstore to discuss literature, share recommendations, and build community.
