Join us for our final Ultimate Reading Challenge meetup of 2026! Each meetup features time to chat about what you’re reading, a simple craft to enjoy, and a Little Free Library exchange. Bring a book (or a few!) that you’re ready to pass along and feel free to take home something new. Any books left at the end of the night will be donated to the library book sale. All readers are welcome—whether you’re actively participating in the challenge or just love talking books.
In November, we'll be painting book edges! Bring a book you'd like to customize; all other materials are provided. We'll have the Cricut available during the event if you'd like to create a stencil, or email your design request to [email protected] by Monday, November 16. Please note that we can't guarantee all stencil requests can be accommodated.
Ages 18+, registration is required.
Registered participants are welcome to drop-in anytime between 6-8pm. We recommend allowing at least 30-60 minutes to complete the project.
