Join MSON's Book Club for a Cozy Retreat Day on Friday, June 6th!

This June, we’re mixing things up! Instead of reading a specific book, we’re hosting a Book Swap—plus a relaxing day filled with crafts, connection, and time to unwind. Think of it as a calm before the storm—a quiet pause before the summer rush begins. It’s also a sweet chance to say goodbye to friends who are moving and lighten your load during this season of change.


9:30 –11 AM: Reading & Craft Time with Coffee and Tea
Bring your own book, project, or craft to enjoy while sipping coffee or tea and nibbling on pastries and bagels. Pastries from Batista’s and bagels from Bristol Bagel Works

Choose your vibe: 

Top floor: quiet reading only

Second floor: soft conversation & crafting

Outside: relaxed chatting and catching up

12 PM–2 PM: Lunch & Book Swap

Enjoy a casual lunch and refresh your shelf with something new from a fellow member. Salad bar & potato bar provided

Leftover books will be donated to the NMCRS Thrift Store to support our military community.


Date: Friday, June 6th
Time: 9:30 am - 3 pm (Come and go as you please)
Location: Ashley's House in Bristol
Cost: Free, optional: Cash/Venmo donations given to Ashley toward food are welcome

Comfy clothes encouraged. Come and go as you need. Cozy vibes all day.

Please do not bring any food or drink—just books you'd like to swap or donate.
