Our fifth annual Holiday Book Fair on December 7, 2013, was a great success! Several hundred people came to the Byrne-Reed House to visit with twenty-two noted authors and enjoy coffee and a bake sale of donated and homemade treats. Available titles included works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and photography with selections for both adult and youth audiences. The book fair and bake sale raised funds for Austin flood victims.
