Join us to work on your book journal and share with others what you've added and read!

Book journaling is where reading, scrapbooking, and journaling come together! Whether you're a maximalist or a minimalist in how you like to decorate, book journaling is a fun way to keep a record of your reading for the year.

A limited number of composition notebooks will be available for those who haven't started a book journal. Already started journals are encouraged to join as well. Supplies and materials  will be provided to decorate and add to your journal.
