Winter Reading Program

Our Winter Reading Program for 2023–2024 has begun!

We are challenging our customers to read at least three of eight great books selected by Bookshop Santa Cruz by the end of February. Upon completion, adults will receive a $5 gift card to Bookshop Santa Cruz, a cookie from Pacific Cookie Company, and a complimentary tasting flight at the downtown Santa Cruz Birichino Tasting Room.

Don't miss our free Winter Reading Program Mixer on January 8th at Hotel Paradox. Learn more about each book and find your next read! Details here.
