Pop-up Book Market : A New Chapter by Darling & a Scholar

Sunday, January 11th, 2026. 9:00 am - 2:00 pm.

 OCA Mocha — Community Room

5410 East Dr, Arbutus, MD 21227

Join Darling & Scholar for a cozy pop-up book market at OCA Mocha in the community room, featuring a thoughtfully curated selection of secondhand and donated books, most priced around $10. This is a great opportunity to discover amazing reads without breaking the bank, while supporting community programs.

This market’s themed table, A New Chapter, highlights books for anyone starting something new — whether it’s a fresh season, a new perspective, or a curiosity you’re ready to follow. Discover stories and ideas that encourage reflection, growth, and exploration, alongside a wide range of other genres to browse and enjoy.

As always, this pop-up is about more than books. In partnership with the Community Cooperative, a portion of the proceeds supports community programs and development. We’ll also be highlighting local makers through a special presale ahead of the event, encouraging you to shop small and support your neighbors.

What to expect:

- A themed table focused on new beginnings and curious journeys

- Secondhand and donated books, most around $10

- Curated books across many genres

- A warm, community-centered space to browse and connect
