# Read them. Bind them.

A small club for people who love books from both sides: reading them over fika on Wednesdays, and making them by hand on Sundays.

## When we meet

Come to one, come to both. Everyone is welcome, beginners included.

### 📖 Reading & fika

**Every Wednesday at 19:30.** We talk about what we're reading, swap recommendations and have coffee and something sweet.

### 🧵 Bookbinding shenanigans

**Every Sunday, 13:30 – 17:30.** Folding, sewing, gluing and the occasional disaster. Bring a project or start a new one.

## Why both?

### Better reading
Once you've sewn a book yourself, you never look at one the same way again.

### Better books
The best way to find something worth binding is to read a lot.

### Better company
People who love books are good people to spend an evening with.
