Community Space

Magpie is a bookstore, but it’s also a place people hang out.

Most weeks there’s something going on — book clubs, craft circles, conversations about the news, or just people sitting around the same table making things and talking. Sometimes it’s lively, sometimes it’s quiet, sometimes it’s a little chaotic in the best way.

You don’t have to be part of a club to show up. If you like books, making things, or just being around other humans for a bit, you’ll probably fit right in.

What is a Third Space?

A third space is a place people go simply to be around others. Not home, not work — just somewhere you can show up, spend time, and feel part of a community.

They’re the places where conversations happen naturally, where ideas get shared, and where neighbors slowly turn into friends. Sometimes it’s a quick visit, sometimes you stay longer than you meant to.

At Magpie, we believe spaces like this matter. In a world that pushes everyone to hurry, buy something, or move along, a third space is a reminder that community still starts with people sitting in the same room.
