SHS Big Read: The Addiction Inoculation
Join us in partnership with Salida High School, Chaffee County Public Health, and Family & Youth Initiatives on Friday, October 16th at 9 am for a Big Read Book Club for a discussion with author Jessica Lahey about her book The Addiction Inoculation. The book is a comprehensive resource parents, teachers, coaches, students, and community members can use to prevent substance abuse in kids' lives. Lahey provides evidence-based strategies and practical tools that are age-appropriate and actionable to help us raise kids who will grow up healthy, happy, and addiction-free.
Ticket includes a copy of the book, a guided discussion, and light breakfast. Location in Salida TBD based on ticket sales.
Tickets on sale Monday, September 28th through our mailing list.

We love books, and we love to share books with others! Our bookstore's mission is to build community around books. We started at the Salida Farmers’ Market in the summer and fall of 2023 and have continued at the holiday market in early winter, and have community reading and author events all year round. Check out our Events Page for details.
We support authors residing in and visiting Salida and the surrounding region. We have hosted Ted Conover, Ben Goldfarb, Pam Houston, and many more local authors at the Farmers’ Market.
When we weren’t at the markets, we were still available for book sales but it became difficult to get folks the books they needed; we were constantly arranging picks up or delivers. Other ways to support us are through our have Bookshop.org page, which supports us through a percent of sales and delivers right to you! In addition, you can purchase audiobooks through us on libro.fm.
We hope you will continue to keep us in mind for all your book needs. We have been enjoying this venture and are excited for this new chapter with our brick-and-mortar to have more chances to connect with you.
Let’s Talk Books,
