Who here loves shakers?
We know we do. 🖐️
Rattles, maracas, jingle bells, even dog toys!
They're fun and SO easy to make.
Throw some beans or rice into a closed container and BOOM!
You got yourself a shaker.

Great DPPL Bake-Along
This week we bid a fond farewell to The Great DPPL Bake-Along. Since we began the project back in April, we've baked (and eaten) nearly two dozen batches of literary treats and found new ways to experience our favorite books. Thank you for coming along!
We open at 9:00am today.
