Paint a #ReadingRock to Win a $100 Gift Card to Broad Street Books

June 9, 2021

It's no secret... books rock!

Local resident Sara D. Sarka took that literally with her rock painting tribute to Shel Silverstein's classic, " Falling Up" which now resides at Broad Street Book in Branchville.

#Readingrocks have been popping up across Sussex County and Broad Street Books is hoping that YOU will join in on the fun!


How to Participate:

  • Paint your own #ReadingRocks and drop them off at Broad Street Books before June 23, 2021.
  • One lucky artist will win a $100 gift card to Broad Street Books!

Tips for painting your own reading rocks:

  • Pick a book that inspires you.
  • Use acrylic craft paints on standard-sized bricks (or larger rectangular stones) to replicate the cover art.
  • Seal your artwork with a clear, matte sealer (epoxy resin or spray paint)
  • Join the #scnjrocks movement on social media to help spread joy throughout Sussex County.
