During Goshen Gives Back, participating restaurants, bars, and merchants partner with Goshen-area nonprofits, donating 10% of First Fridays' sales to their chosen organization. At Fables Books, we’re proud to donate 10% of our sales to our neighbors at The Window, Inc., whose work supports dignity, nourishment, and care in our community.

From 6–8 p.m., Fables Books will also host a casual author meet &amp; greet featuring Rev. Dr. Laura Brown and fantasy author Kelsee Sharp. This is a relaxed, drop-in opportunity to meet the authors, chat about their work, and explore books that delve into transformation, belief, courage, and self-discovery.

Whether you’re stopping in to support The Window, Inc., meet the authors, or simply browse with purpose, we invite you to spend part of your First Fridays evening with us, connecting through stories that matter.
