Our fourth annual Holiday Book Fair drew several hundred people to the Byrne-Reed House to visit with twenty noted authors and enjoy coffee and homemade treats baked by Humanities Texas staff. The books, which included history, architecture, memoir, and children's literature, were sold at a discounted price. The book fair and bake sale raised funds for Texas public libraries.
