📚 One young author supporting literacy and hoping others join too. Zoe is at the post office to send in her book for the Reading Rainbow Book Drive — and she wants to encourage fellow authors to do the same. 💙🌈 This amazing initiative is accepting new, unused children’s books from authors across the U.S. and Canada, including self-published books. ✨ Books for ages 4–8 may even be selected for social media feature opportunities. 📬 All packages must be postmarked by July 14, 2026. As authors, we have the power to put stories into the hands of children who need them most. If you’ve published a children’s book, consider being part of something bigger.Check out @readingrainbow for more info. Keep writing. Keep sharing. Keep helping kids fall in love with reading. ❤️ #ReadingRainbowbookdrive #childrensauthor #teenauthor #zoegarrett #zogarpublishing

June is here, and we’re launching our very first reading program—and our very first summer in the storefront! 📚☀️ We’re excited to grow something special with our community. Our Summer Reading Program welcomes children of all ages to join in the reading fun, track their books, and earn sweet prizes along the way in partnership with @mariposahomemade . Pick up a bookmark at Spine & Vine, log your reading, and enjoy rewards all summer long. Every Thursday, join us for themed storytimes led by our booksellers, complete with a new craft each week. Saturdays are extra special, featuring children’s book authors and illustrators reading their own stories and signing books afterward. Get creative throughout the month with book bedazzling, junk journaling, and wax seal making, and join one of our three book clubs for even more literary connection. Grab your friends and attend our moderated event with @kerri.schlottman celebrating the release of her new novel, DAYTIME MOON! We’re also bringing back our bookish walks at Harveston Lake to celebrate Audiobook Month with @librofm . These walks come with zero pressure and the ability to listen to what you want— these will be free community gatherings where you can bring an audiobook and enjoy mindful laps around the lake. Here’s to a summer of stories, creativity, and a fresh new season in our new space. Links are in our bio. 🌿✨
