This event is "pay-what-you-will" at the door and all proceeds will benefit Brain Food Books (BFB), the newly-formed not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization of The King's English Bookshop. BFB's mission is to bring books to schools, pediatric clinics, and daycare centers based on their needs, in addition to letting individual children choose books to take home.
Additionally, Finca Restaurant now offers beverage and food service on the bookshop patio and will be available with a cash bar beverage service and a limited pintox (Spanish snacks) menu. Enjoy a glass of wine of a cocktail while you listen to the readings.
