“Would you like anything to read?” wonders Miss P, the fictional persona of store owner Nan Wigington. Why, yes – yes, we would. And please, let it fit into the lineup of the two in-house book clubs: The Myth Series Reading Group, which meets the fourth Saturday of the month at 2 p.m., and The Whodunnit Club, which meets the third Sunday of the month at 4:30 p.m. If you’re not a joiner, you can just poke around in the stacks. This teeny used bookstore in the heart of the Santa Fe Drive arts district specializes in Colorado and the Southwest.

Colorado’s largest authentic Indian Market is back for a seventh season, this year adding two renowned storytellers, Thomas White Hawk and Mat’o, who will share the oral traditions of Ute and Plains Indians. Mat’o, a professional storyteller from the Four Corners region of Colorado, will convey tales of American Indians’ life, lore and love of nature at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday. White Hawk, who also hand-carves flutes from Western red cedar and does traditional beadwork, will share Northern Plains tales at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. May 20. The event centers around a show of artwork by the nation’s leading traditional artists, and then flows into the valley below The Fort, where performers spin and chant in dance and drumming competitions. $6 for adults; kids under 12 free.
