Santos Coffee in Hoover

We got a bit derailed in January, but we're back on track to resume my monthly KJ's Reader Getaways!  In case you don't know, these are casual excursions for adults who love kid lit and want to talk about it!  The next one will be Tuesday, February 8, 2022 at 4 p.m.  We'll meet at Santos Coffee on Brocks Gap Parkway for tasty treats and delicious book talks.  I know we'll talk about recent award winners, plus a couple of reading challenges we have going on at the library -- Newbery 100 and Black History Month Book Bingo.  But we'll also talk about whatever YOU want to talk about!  And I'll have ARCs to give away, too!

Mark you calendars for these upcoming dates (fingers crossed, of course):
Friday, March 11, 2022 at 4 p.m. - Baba Java Coffee
Tuesday, April 5, 2022 at 4 p.m. - Bluff Park Ice Cream Shoppe
