The Barbenheimer Craze Arrives at Saint A’s with New Course Offered This Semester

Reading Party

Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m.

Starting on March 19, 2024, Geisel will host a weekly Reading Party each on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. for the remainder of the semester. The last party will be on April 30, 2024. 

How it Works

Bring something to read (fiction, non-fiction, textbook, magazine, whatever), or pick something from Geisel's collections. We'll read for a hour or so, silently, as a group in the Reading Room. After one hour you will be invited to share what you've read with the person/s sitting next to you. 

Take advantage of this time to read, learn from others, and find out about other great books to read. 

Coffee, tea, and cocoa will be provided. 

No RSVP required. Attend when you can.

All are welcome!
