Books on the House Executive Director Kat Varner and Community Outreach Director Jesse Brown joined us on Good Morning LKN to share their mission of promoting literacy and book accessibility across the Charlotte and Lake Norman region. With more than 70,000 books already given away, their upcoming Charlotte BookPalooza ’25 is a free festival celebrating authors, readers, and the power of books. From local authors and artisans to family-friendly activities, food, and music, it’s a day dedicated to community, creativity, and literacy for all ages.
