It's hard to explain how excited we get around here when we have a new Silver Ticket Winner! 😍 This is Mason with his winning ticket! Mason is in 3rd grade and he enjoys graphic novels and chapter books. He's a fan of Dogman and Wings of Fire series and he's becoming interested in Marvel Superheroes - he also loves cats! Booker T. Bear 🐻 has been very busy gathering up books based on the personal interests of our winners, and we can't wait to give Mason his Silver Ticket prize. Congratulations Mason! 🎉

A fun time was had at .restaurant on Tuesday, where we gathered on the 25th to celebrate our 25th Anniversary and support youth literacy! Row generously sponsored this event, where TEN PERCENT of all proceeds from the day will go to the South Sound Reading Foundation! Thank you, Row, for supporting the youth in our community, and for making such delicious fare! Just FYI, the west-facing patio at Row is the perfect place to enjoy these late summer evenings! Cheers to our awesome community! 🍷📚💙
