Holiday Catalog cover
Shop our holiday catalog!

As always, our holiday catalog is packed with gift ideas for readers of all ages, covering many genres. Many of the books are already in the store, and more are on their way. This year, there are three ways to get a holiday catalog. They’re currently available in the store and will be mailed to households in the Park Rapids area by November 9. We’re told the catalog will be available digitally on Nov. 5. We’ll post the link on our website and facebook page as soon as we receive it.

Small Business Saturday is a time to support your local community by patronizing local business and shopping small. At Beagle and Wolf, we’ll roll out the blue carpet for you! We’ll bag your purchase in a free tote (while supplies last), offer a free book with any purchase, and have refreshments. And, as always, we offer complimentary gift wrapping.
