Book Club Update

For the past 8 years, it has been an honor to share dozens of stories with hundreds of kids through our Austin Allies & BookPeople Kids' Book Club.

From meeting with Austin's mayor and Zooming with famous authors during quarantine to visiting with the Zilker cast of Matilda and chatting with friends each month about life and literature, our Book Club was the highlight of each month for me and countless others.

We've welcomed guest hosts, worked on volunteer projects, and laughed (and sometimes cried) together - all through sharing a love of reading and a desire to feel connected with our community.

Sadly, the time has come to say goodbye to our Kids' Book Club. We want to send a big thank you to each and every kiddo (many of whom are now adults!), parents, community members, nonprofit partners, BookPeople staff, authors, illustrators, friends, and family who joined our meetings and supported our Club. This was an experience I will treasure always and the memories created will stay with me for a lifetime.

Big thanks to BookPeople for hosting us and for creating such incredible connections.  Go visit them for all of your reading and gifting needs. Shop local!!!

Extra HUGE thank you and so many hugs to Rachel McInnes, who has been along for the ride since our very first meeting in 2017. 

And so much love to the memories of our friends/Book Club hosts who are no longer with us, Vanessa and Kari.  We miss you every day.
