How Our Events Work

BookPeople is proud to host over 300 events every year. Our events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise stated.

To get a book signed at one of our events, a copy of the event book must be purchased from BookPeople. By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business, but you are also showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople. Think of it this way: you wouldn't bring your own beer to a bar, would you?

For events where we anticipate large crowds, wristbands may be required in order to join the signing line. Occasionally we may also ticket events. In both cases, information as to when wristbands/tickets are available will be found on that event's specific page on our website. 

Darwin Day

  • Adult Event
02/11/2012 1:00 pm

Join us for Darwin Day, a celebration of evolution and Charles Darwin himself from the Center for Inquiry Austin. We will have events for all ages.  In our amphitheater, kids can learn about fossils where we’ll have a bunch on display.  Up on our third floor, we will have talks on evolution for adults.  Rebecca Lewis, UT Anthropology, will be speaking on "The Evolution of Social Systems." Ernie Lundelius, Emeritus Professor from UT Austin, will give the talk: "I Dig Fossils". Steve Bratteng, from CFI Austin, will be giving the talk "Dr Darwin Makes a House Call" about the concept of evolutionary or Darwinian medicine.  Join us today from 1-3PM.
