Admission includes a special cocktail or mocktail from our Café & Bar.
Let’s be alone together with those books we just can’t put down. It’s the introvert’s delight! Get cozy with a drink for a quiet reading party from 6pm to 7:15pm in our auditorium. Afterward, you’re invited to engage in some not-so-small talk about big stories with your fellow readers. We will help break the ice if you stay, so worry not, our socially awkward friends. We see you.
Doors open at 5:30pm—beat the line for drinks and pick your seat.
Space is limited, so sign up now! Don’t have a book you love yet? Consult our booksellers or librarians for your next great read before we begin.
