Tonight I am leading a book discussion in a bar. We have so many commuters in town who probably don’t come to the Library. So we handed out a bunch of copies of The Sense of an Ending on the Manhattan-bound side of the train station platform during the last week of September. Tonight, I have invited them all to join me at the local libation station to drink beer and discuss the Julian Barnes book.
I named this program “Read, Ride, Imbibe,” because I just can’t not name everything something ridiculous.
The point of this story is I have been off beer for a while but tonight! Tonight I shall imbibe and it will be beautiful because I just counted and I hosted enough programs in the past week to bring in 638 adults. Bonkers.
Handed out a bunch of copies, like, for free? Darien is the coolest library.
In related news, if you’re into books and beer, stay tuned for this week’s Five Question Friday interview of Leah White, who talks about her library’s Books on Tap program.
