Our family sends Season’s Greetings to you and yours!


In this strange and stressful year, we’ve appreciated your business and enjoyed your friendship more than ever! Thanks to you, Beagle and Wolf is surviving. Here’s to another year of sharing books, conversation, and laughter. And we hope that we can see you face to face, without masks, sometime in the coming year!





Store front with Christmas decorationsHoliday shopping at Beagle and Wolf

We’ve said it all fall: it’s important to shop as early as you can for holiday giving, particularly if you want to order something we don’t have in the store. Currently, our deadline for such orders is December 15. However, we are already hearing stories of shipping delays and want to emphasize again how important it is to shop early.

Here are the ways you can shop with us:

In the store. We are open:

  • Monday to Saturday, 9:00 to 5:00

Here are two upcoming events which we’re not sponsoring, but they may be of interest to you:



Dan Rather: What Unites UsAn event in support of independent bookstoresWednesday, December 2,20207pm estIndies First and ABA logos
Dan Rather virtual event
December 2, 6:00 to 7:00 pm

Join Dan Rather for a discussion on his book What Unites Us: Reflections on Patriotism.

“In my many travels over the years, I have often sought out independent bookstores because you can learn a lot about a place from its bookstores,” Rather said. “These are often idiosyncratic and surprising places, the kinds of uniquely local institutions that tie communities together.”

With a storied career that has spanned more than six decades, Rather has earned his place as one of the world’s best-known journalists. In his latest book, Rather reflects on patriotism and what brings Americans together at this critical moment in our national identity. He looks to the book’s title not as a question, but as a plan of action, a path forward for the country.

Robin Kimmerer virtual event

December 4, noon to 1:00

The Minneapolis Institute of Art is sponsoring a free virtual event with Robin Kimmerer, the author of Braiding Sweetgrass.

Drawing on both indigenous and scientific knowledge, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of "Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teaching of Plants," talks about the importance of cultivating a reciprocal relationship with the environment, and how understanding our connection to the land helps us connect more deeply with one another.

To attend, click here to reserve online and receive an email with the Zoom link for the program. If you have never used Zoom before, you will be prompted to download the Zoom app or join from your browser. Zoom works best on the Google Chrome browser. If you have any trouble, contact visit@artsmia.org
