Tucson Summer Reading Club party set for August 16

Tucson Spotlight and Tucson Tome Gnome's Summer Reading Club for Adults is closing out its inaugural season with a community celebration designed to bring back the nostalgic joy of school book fairs, only this time with breakfast burritos and candles.

The wrap party will take place Saturday, August 16 from 8 a.m. to noon at Di Luna Candles and Goods, 2700 N. Campbell Ave.

Those participating in the reading challenge can show their trackers and bingo cards to claim prizes, available on a first come, first served basis. Come get those stickers, bookmarks and pizza gift cards that you've worked so hard to earn!

Readers who complete a row or more on their bingo cards will also be entered into a raffle to win an exclusive tote bag, with winners announced at 10:30 a.m.

Attendees can enjoy breakfast from SeƱor Taco, browse a makers market featuring book- and reading-themed goods, and check out a limited-edition collab candle created just for the event.

In partnership with Stacks Book Club, the celebration will also feature a book swap, giving readers the chance to trade their summer reads and discover new favorites.

The event is a chance to celebrate the joy of summer reading, connect with fellow book lovers, and support local businesses.
