Calling all book lovers and journalers!

Whether you already consider yourself an avid reader or would like to become one, a reading journal is a great way to enhance your reading experience. In this _Make Your Own Reading Journal_ class, participants will explore the world of reading journals and learn why many book lovers choose to keep one. The class will cover examples of popular journal elements, such as book reviews, book bingos, and series trackers, and will also provide guidance on where to look for additional inspiration. 

Attendees will learn about the benefits of reflecting on their reading experiences, how to connect with the online bookish community, and explore ways to access books while supporting authors. After the discussion, participants will have the opportunity to create their own personalized reading journal, with a journal, craft supplies, and book-themed stickers and ephemera provided as part of the class.
