Pages & Pints

Third Thursdays, 7pm at Trinktisch (87 Leonard Street)

A book group for people in their 20’s and 30’s (and the young at heart). Book selections may vary from fiction to nonfiction, mystery to memoir based on group input, but copies will always be available for pickup at the library. We’ll grab a table at Trinktisch, order a drink and snack if you’re so inclined, and settle in to talk books!
