Reading Snapshot: Is This Our Bibliopolis?

Hello everyone! It’s been pushing three months since my last post, but I have returned to share some exciting goings on with regards to the reading revolution throughout Gracepoint Berkeley church as well as our church plants.

I’m going to ease back into posting with a heartwarming little story. Vanessa from acts2fellowship in Berkeley told me that one day, while her older daughter Gabby was sitting near her bookshelves, she asked, “Mommy, is this our Bibliopolis?” That was so awesome to hear, so here is a picture of the girls showing off their own reading space at home!

You can make your own Bibliopolis! You just need some…books.

I know many of you have made little reading spaces in your homes, so feel free to share those photos and any stories with me, and we can encourage one another to keep up the reading (especially with summer fast approaching)!

Hannah from Gracepoint Berkeley church loves reading to her younger sisters! She must take after her parents, who we remember from the Bibliopolis U Book Fair 🙂


Sometimes it’s tough being the youngest, because it seems like everyone knows how to do everything already! But here’s Rachel, finding her own little corner where she can discover the joy of reading for herself 🙂

Happy Read Across America Day!

Today is National Read Across America Day, or Dr. Seuss Day. He would have been 112 today, and to commemorate his birthday, school children all across the nation don red & white striped hats, and have fun, reading-centered celebrations at school and in their communities. At different Bibliopolis branches across our Gracepoint churches, we celebrated too. We have something special planned to share with you all, but it’s not ready yet. In the mean time, here’s a picture.

What’s your favorite Dr. Seuss book? While I’m not a fan of all of his books, The Lorax is probably at the top of my list. Deep stuff.
