Books & Blankets: A Silent Book Club + Volunteer Event
January 25 12:30-2pm
Echoes Brewing
19479 Viking Ave NW
Poulsbo, WA 98370

Join us for an afternoon of cozy reading, community, & volunteerism as we listen to audiobooks & make tie blankets for Seattle Children's Hospital (SCH).

Bring along an audiobook, headphones, and your lovely self. We'll supply some pre-prepared fleece tie-blankets.

We'll start by getting to know one another a bit, going over the instructions for how to tie the blankets, then settle in with our earbuds and audiobooks to enjoy a cozy afternoon of reading and tying blankets together.

Finished blankets will be donated to SCH through Katie's Comforter's Guild. You can spontaneously attend this event, but RSVP-ing by reserving your free ticket on Eventbrite will help us prepare the proper amount of materials.

Looking for an audiobook? We highly recommend shopping with our store through Libro.fm (they have a great sale section, including monthly romance picks for just $3.99 each!) or checking the "available now" section of your local library.
