📚✨ ADULT BOOK FAIR ✨📚

Remember the absolute HIGH of walking into the Scholastic Book Fair with money in your pocket and no adult supervision over your purchasing decisions?Yeah. We’re bringing that back.

Except this time… we’re adults. There’s beer. And nobody can tell you that you don’t need another book. 💅📖

Join The SweetEasy + The Recycled Reader for an ADULT BOOK FAIR on Thursday, September 24th from 5:30–8PM!

We’re taking over 507 E. Main Street for an evening of books, treats & all the bookish things:

📚 New + used books from The Recycled Reader - with special Book Fair pricing!

👕 Book lovers’ apparel designed & printed locally by Replica Youth

🔖 Stickers, bookmarks & more little things you absolutely do need

🧁 Themed treats from The SweetEasy

🍕 Pizza + beer available from Elizabeth City Pizza Co.

🕯️ Bookish candles from Copper Canyon Soap Company

Come browse. Grab a treat. Have a beer. Buy the book.
Actually… buy three. You’re the grown-up now.

Tag your book bestie and come chase that Scholastic Book Fair high with us. 📚✨
