The Story Circle

At 18 August Ave, we believe books build more than readers—they build community, connection, and wellbeing.

Our membership program invites families, caregivers, and literacy advocates to be part of something bigger than a bookstore. By joining, you’re helping us sustain a space where Black and Brown stories are centered, children’s imaginations bloom, and families grow together through reading and wellness.
