Holiday Book Fair
Each December, Humanities Texas holds its Holiday Book Fair at the Byrne-Reed House. Shoppers have the opportunity to meet accomplished Texas authors and buy signed copies of their books. Proceeds support worthy humanities-related causes in Texas.
Our third annual Holiday Book Fair was a great success. Several hundred people visited the Byrne-Reed House to visit with authors and enjoy coffee and homemade treats baked by Humanities Texas staff. Twenty-one authors signed their latest books, which were sold at a discounted price. The book fair and bake sale raised $1,600 for the Bastrop Public Library, which suffered losses to its collection as a result of the September wildfires.
