Wheatgrass Books is happy to announce our participation in the 12th Anniversary of Independent Bookstore Day!
 
This year, Wheatgrass Books will celebrate Independent Bookstore Day with a special visit from renowned wolf biologist Rick McIntyre, who will be signing books from 11 am to 2 pm. Jane Goodall calls McIntyre “the ultimate guru of wolf behavior.” Joining the event is Yellowstone naturalist and guide Ashea Mills, adding her expertise on the region’s wildlife and ecosystem.
