About the event
Do you enjoy reading but don't have time to commit to a book club? Torch Literary Arts joins Future Front to present This is Not a Book Club - a gathering for readers to support local independent bookstores in Central Texas, discuss current writing featured on TORCH and other literary news and events. All lovers of creative writing are welcome.
For this meet-up, we'll tour the Austin Central Branch Library (it's gorgeous!), get library cards if you don't have one already, visit the gift shop, give away books, and grab something to eat at Cookbook Bar & Cafe.
