Yesterday was my 8 year Bookstagram anniversary 💕✨ Instagram.com/hawa.reads

somebody checked out a book from my poetry month display 🥳🥰

I just want you all to know every time someone checks out a book from a display at the library, a very happy library worker does a fun little celebratory dance.

Celebrate #WomensHistoryMonth at the Library! Offering programming for all ages, you are invited to join us throughout March as we celebrate the achievements, contributions, and inspiring legacy of women throughout history with special book discussions, film screenings, interactive storytimes, craft-and-create programs, STEM programs and more! 🌟 Visit pgcmls.info/womens-history… to learn more and check out the full month’s programming.

Kinda wanna delete this 😅

Hey y'all! We're planning a small end of the year/holiday celebration for a small group of teens (10-15, same group as from this summer). They've expressed an interest in having Ledo's pizza and wings again. If you'd like to donate towards the cause, let me know!

Happy Book Lovers Day! If you’re not following my Bookstagram yet, wyd? ✨📚 IG: hawa.reads 📸: @TifeTheBaws3

Hey y'all! I'm interested in doing a small end of the school year celebration for some teens in the community. They've shared that they'd like pizza and wings. If you're interested in donating towards the cause, please let me know. I'll definitely provide receipts of everything!

🪩 IT'S MY PUB DAY!! 🪩 I am so excited that my debut, UNDER THE NEON LIGHTS, is finally out in the world. 🛼✨ It's been a beautiful yet challenging journey, and I couldn't have done it without my community, my publishing team, and most of all, my readers!

@99vinyl Awww love this! Happy Birthday 🥳

Such a thoughtful gift ❤️ My wife made me a vinyl scavenger hunt mapping out all of the local record stores with gift cards for each one. Along with a beautiful canvas picture of my kid digging through records. The perfect birthday gift 😭
