Now We Are Two. And Announcing: Secret Skylark.
/
Skylark opened its doors for the first time on August 25, 2018, and so today is our second birthday! It’s strange to think that a quarter of our existence has been spent with our doors closed to the public, thanks to the COVID-19 virus. We could not have survived this pandemic without you, our beloved customers and supporters. How we wish we could thank you in person by throwing a big party for you all – but rules is rules. Instead we’ve come up with a different way to celebrate with you, our Skylark community. It’s a way to share the books you love, to discover new titles for yourself, get a free book, and to meet new people, all at the same time. We do hope you’ll join in.
We’re calling it: Secret Skylark. Basically, you buy a book for someone else, and get two books back.
Here’s how it works:
Purchase your favorite book for inclusion in the Secret Skylark Reading Nest. You can add a note explaining why the book means so much to you. If you like, you can also make a donation to a fund to buy books for City of Refuge, to help spread the reading love a little further.
In return, we’ll send you somebody else’s favorite book, and to thank you for participating we’ll also send you a free signed copy of Setting Free the Kites, by Alex George. Alex will also personalize the book for you, if you wish.
Join us at our online birthday party at 7:00 p.m. on September 17 and get to hear about all the books that people have chosen – and (if you want) talk about your book, too! There’ll also be other fun stuff going on – we’ll do some raffles and giveaways of books and Skylark merch, we’ll be reading some of the Skyku that our visiting authors have written for us, and maybe even have a few author appearances, as well!
How does it all work? Just go here to complete the google form to get started, and we’ll be in touch! You'll be able to participate for the next month.
Have fun, and we'll see you on September 17! Thanks for the last two years. It's been a blast.
