Out of Space returns July 26-28 at an exciting new location near downtown Skokie! Our beloved Canal Shores Golf Course is finishing up their massively-impressive renovation project, and while it will be perfect for golfing this summer, the grass has not had a chance to mature enough to withstand our type of use just yet. We can’t wait to bring Out of Space back home in 2025, but are thrilled to partner with the Village of Skokie and share this new location with you which has tons of charm, lush green grass for picnicking, easy free parking, public transit, and is friendly for walkers and bikers.

Enjoy your guilty pleasure books together!
