Join us for Volume 3 of Book & Brew Club as we discuss The Favorites by Layne Fargo. A story of obsession, rivalry, ambition, and fame, this unforgettable novel is perfect for readers who love complex characters and messy relationships. Club members will enjoy a complimentary latte while we gather to discuss the book, share thoughts, and connect with fellow readers.

She said yes…so we’re celebrating the only way we know how: with themed drinks, friendship bracelets, local shopping, photo ops, and a full day of Swiftie-inspired fun on Ballard Avenue

Some books changed the world. Others sparked outrage.

Join us for an evening celebrating the stories that readers, parents, and organizations have tried to challenge, restrict, and remove from shelves over the years. Explore the history behind some of literature's most controversial titles while enjoying coffee, conversation, and a little literary rebellion.

Throughout the evening, guests can:

📚 Browse our Most Wanted Books display and discover the controversies behind famous literary titles.

🎯 Play Banned Book Bingo featuring challenged books, controversial authors, and literary history.

🚫 Test your knowledge in Why It Was Banned by matching famous books to the real complaints that landed them on banned and challenged book lists.

Plus, enjoy prizes throughout the evening and connect with fellow readers who believe great stories deserve to be read.

Free to attend. Come and go as you please.

Bring a book, take a book…or TEN!
