This summer, we’re proud to be partnering with for our Summer Tip-Off Book Fair on June 30th!📚

Bernie’s Book Bank believes every child deserves the opportunity to own books of their own. Through the power of book ownership, they’re helping children build stronger literacy skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of reading.

We’re so excited because Bernie’s is opening its new Milwaukee location this summer, expanding their incredible impact right here in our community. Their team is absolutely amazing, and we can’t wait to help support their mission.

We’re collecting new and gently loved children’s books at the book fair, and we’d love your help! 📖

📍
📅 June 30th
⏰ 4:30 PM–9:00 PM

Bring a book, grab a drink, shop local authors and makers, and help us put more books into the hands of kids who need them.
Because every child deserves a book to call their own. 💛

Happy Pride Month! 🌈📚

At MKE Books & Beers, we believe that every story deserves to be told, every voice deserves to be heard, and every person deserves to feel safe, welcomed, and celebrated.

We are proud to support LGBTQIA+ authors, readers, creators, and community members who continue to make the literary world richer, more diverse, and more beautiful. Q***r voices help us all see the world through a wider lens.

Love is love. Stories matter. Representation matters.

Our events will always be a safe space where everyone can gather, connect, and celebrate the love of books exactly as they are. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
