Panel: Oct. 11, 9:30 – 10:30 a.m., Central Library Helzberg Auditorium
Rachel Pierce is a book content creator best known for her signature series, The Book Bowl Challenge. As part of the project, she crafted 500 miniature books — each representing one of the greatest books of all time — and draws her next read at random from a literal fishbowl. This whimsical system leads her on a wide-ranging reading journey that spans across genres, time periods, demographics, and cultures far beyond current trends. On her channel, Rachel shares thoughtful conversations about ethical reading, supporting libraries and local bookstores, the realities of content creation, and what it truly means to read diversely.
