About this Event

Join us on third Thursdays at 6 pm for an hour of reading and bookish chitchat. Bring your current read or grab a book from the stacks!

Come a little early and browse the library gift shop, which is staying open until 6 pm just for us!

Here's the schedule:

6:00-6:15: Arrive at the library and head to Level 4 (The Red Floor), Meeting Room 1, for intros

6:15-6:30: Around the room for quick intros--your name & pronouns, where you’re coming from, what you’re reading

6:30-7:30: Disperse throughout the library for an hour of reading (we recommend the Level 10 Reading Room!)

7:30-7:45: Meet back in the Level 3 Living Room for bookish chitchat with fellow readers and possible post-book-club dinner adventures (This part's optional—feel free to read & leave)

8:00: The library closes! Out, out, out!

This is a no-pressure book club for queer folks and allies: we’re here for reading, community, and, of course, the library!

Need ideas for what to read at book club? Try "Your Next 5 Books"—where a librarian creates a personalized reading list just for you! Tell us in this form a bit about what you like (and hate!) to read, and a librarian will email you a list of five books chosen just for you.

😷Masks encouraged!

📸We take photos & videos at almost every event - if you prefer not to be photographed, DM us on Instagram or let an organizer know at the event.

We can’t wait to read with you!
