Books & Brews: A Book Exchange Night 🍻📚 (Founding Member Welcome Series)
Not a book club. Not homework. Just a night of stories, brews, and swapping books you love. ✨
For this Books & Brews meetup, we’re taking over Clio’s Bookstore & Bar in Oakland — part bookshop, part bar, all vibes. Here’s the deal:
Bring one used book that mattered to you — something that made you laugh, cry, or think a little differently. You’ll share a quick story about why it’s special, then pass it along to someone else in the group. By the end of the night, everyone leaves with a new book (and maybe a new friend). 🥂
✨ What to Expect
A chill night of drinks + literary vibes 🍷
Everyone gives a 1-minute “pitch” for their book 📖
A playful exchange where your old favorite becomes someone else’s new obsession 🔄
Conversation that flows as easily as the drink 🍺
🔑 Notes
Not a bibliophile? No problem. You can buy a book right off Clio’s shelves to join the swap.
All genres welcome — novels, memoirs, poetry, cookbooks, even the weird stuff.
Marked-up, highlighted, or coffee-stained copies are totally fine — they tell a story too.
Bring an open mind (and maybe leave with a story you never expected). 🌈
This isn’t about being a critic. It’s about connection, curiosity, and good brews with good people. 📚🍻✨
With Love,
Tribe Bibliophiles
