Stories in the Stacks

Join us for Stories in the Stacks, an intimate live experience inside Howard Family Bookstore, celebrating the launch of The Shelf — a new tiered performance platform for artists and creatives.

This special evening will feature a headline performance by SAGE, blending music, storytelling, and live expression in a setting designed for connection and presence.

The Shelf is more than a stage — it’s a growing space for artists to develop, be seen, and evolve through different levels of performance. This night marks the beginning.

Come experience the energy.

Come be part of the foundation.
