Celebrating all that's Green
April at last. Icarus, our lovebird, is singing his heart out in unison with the twittering outside in the trees and sky. He feels a change in the air, as do we. The days are getting longer, the loamy smell of a warming earth is present in the chill, and a bounce seems to be in everyone's step. Yes, the economy is still in the doldrums, but what a difference blue sky can make. The promise of spring and new life is being celebrated in our trio of special storytimes over Spring Break. We have planned some fun eco-activities for the little ones, some great Spring crafts, and an opportunity to travel the world from our story time tree house. Please check out our spring break events under the Kids Section and join us in welcoming the return of a green earth.
About Treehouse Books
Tree House Books is a 4200 sq ft general bookstore situated in beautiful downtown Holland, Michigan, on the historic main street. Tree House Books opened its doors in February of 2003 with three goals in mind; to provide a haven of comfort for those browsers who love to peruse an eclectic bookshelf, to create a sense of community within its walls where ideas and knowledge are shared, and to establish the missing link of modern retail, connection, with another human being.
The interior of Tree House Books is warm and inviting with dark green walls complementing antique tin ceilings. The space is adorned with old typewriters, school desks, comfy chairs, and quirky art. The spacious children's area boasts a colorful mural by a local artist and is home to our bookstore pets, Chet the Chinchilla, Puddle the Rabbit. Icarus, the resident Lovebird, beckons near the front door and little "nemos" in our salt water fish tank prompts squeal of delight from young and old. A life size replica of a tree house, complete with a tin roof, is always occupied by a child or two.
Tree House Books has a wide selection of adult and children's titles, as well as jounals, stationary, greeting cards, toys, puzzles, and plush. Monthly events include storytimes, book clubs, author signings, character visits, and seminars. Additional services include free gift wrap, a frequent buyer program, educator and church discounts, out-of-print searches and special orders.
Tree House Books was awarded the designation of "Best Bookstore" in West Michigan by readers of Lake Magazine, a periodical covering the Lakeshore from Chicago to Muskegon.
