From The Vault Waco – Meet Jennifer Smith

Jennifer Smith Didn’t Grow Up a Reader... and Now She Owns a BookstoreThis week on From The Vault Waco, I had the joy of sitting down with Jennifer Smith, founder of From The Vault, Central Texas’s very first mobile bookstore—and honestly, this conversation felt like a heart-to-heart with a kindred spirit.Jennifer didn’t grow up loving books. In fact, she didn’t really start reading until 2021—but once she picked up the right story, something shifted. That spark turned into a passion, and eventually, into a full-blown small business. Today, From The Vault is a curated, pop-up bookstore that will show up at markets, special events, and community spaces all across Waco and throughout Central Texas.We talked about what it’s like to discover reading as an adult, how fiction helped her find her voice, and the courage it takes to follow a new dream—especially one as creative and community-focused as this.
