​What is Bookup Culture?

​Bookup Culture is a reading party where you read alone, in the company of other readers.

​📚 This is a BYOBook event

​We don’t choose books for you. There’s no set number of pages you have to finish. You choose your own reading adventure!

​The Rundown

​6pm - Settle in & Intros

​6:30 - Silent Reading Time (not silent scrolling time 🤳)

​7:30 - Share thoughts about what you read

​7:45 - Closing & Mingle

​Minimal socializing, plenty of reading. 🙂‍↕️

​Who's invited?

​🌈 Bookup Culture is a sex-positive, queer-led space, so LGBTQIA+ & the folks who love them are welcome to join. Aspiring readers & introverts are especially welcome.

​Bookup Culture Guidelines:

• ​Respect pronouns of all guests in the space. Get comfortable asking for pronouns rather than assuming them.

• ​Communicate with care. Guests should engage in respectful and courteous communication at all times, avoiding insults, harassment, or demeaning language. Homophobia, transphobia, and racism are not tolerated in the space.

• ​Keep phone use to a minimum. During “silent reading time”, guests are encouraged to put their phones away and on “Do Not Disturb”.

​Parking Recommendations

• ​Claudina Lot:

  • ​Located south of the Packing House, offering another self-parking option. 

• ​Street Parking:

  • ​Free street parking is available around the district, but be mindful of posted signs and time limits. 

• ​Packing House Lot:

  • ​This is the most convenient option, located right next to the Packing House, but spots fill up quickly, especially on weekends. 

• ​City Hall Parking Structure:

  • ​A free parking garage located just one block north of the Packing District, accessible by a short walk or the free FRAN ride.
