We're changing things up this week! Instead of our usual challenge highlights, we're taking a stroll through the HOB Fall Festival and catching up on a few things happening around the group. 🎡 We've got a brand-new Shelf Showcase waiting for you—no reading required, just a little shelf rummaging and some fall fun. 📣 We've also got a few announcements to share, including Voices in the Spotlight and a look back at some of our September winners. So grab something warm, wander through the festival, and see what's happening around HOB this week. 🍎🍁📚
Check out our new Shelf Showcase! The HOB Fall Festival has arrived. Whether you like hayrides, corn mazes, pumpkin patches or apple orchards, we have it all. Show off the festival finds hiding on your shelves with this fun showcase. HOB Fall Festival Shelf Showcase
