New Book Club Alert: Tales and Trails (an audiobook club)

Join  Tales and Trails, where fitness and literature meet! Perfect for audiobook enthusiasts and active readers, this unique club blends the joy of storytelling with the benefits of walking. Here's how it works:

How It Works:

  1. Monthly Meet-Ups: Gather at our bookstore each month to embark on a scenic walk while listening to carefully selected audiobooks. Enjoy fresh air, good company, and stimulating discussions about the book of the month.

  2. Remote Participation: Can’t join us in person? No problem! Stay connected and motivated through our Strava club, where you can log your walks, share insights, and engage with other members.

  3. Libro.fm Partnership: Our audiobook partner, Libro.fm, offers an extensive library of audiobooks that supports independent bookstores like ours. By choosing Libro.fm, you enjoy incredible stories while directly contributing to local businesses and communities. We’re proud to partner with them to make audiobooks accessible for all our members.

Accessible for Everyone:

We strive to make the Walking Book Club inclusive for all. If you have a disability, health condition, or other circumstances that make walking or in-person attendance challenging, you’re still welcome to participate! Here’s how:

  • Virtual Discussions: Join our monthly book discussions virtually to share your thoughts and engage with the community.

  • Alternative Activities: Participate in a way that suits you best, whether it’s rolling, using adaptive devices, or simply relaxing at home while listening to the audiobook.

  • Strava Club Engagement: Stay connected by logging any form of movement or simply contributing to discussions and book-related insights online.

  • Community Support: We encourage all members to celebrate diverse forms of participation and create a welcoming, inclusive environment for everyone.

Whether you’re walking, rolling, or simply enjoying the audiobook in your favorite cozy spot, your presence and voice are valued in our club. Together, we’ll create a community where everyone can connect through stories.

Why Join?

  • Connect: Build a community of like-minded readers and walkers.

  • Motivate: Stay active and engaged in a fun, social way.

  • Support Local: Your participation supports independent bookstores and authors.
