Please Google the address, and feel free to go scope it out before hand or check out their Facebook Page for more details. Timeline will be as follows: 5:30-6:00 PM Arrive.

I ask that you please buy at least one thing from our host venue. However, if you really do not wish to buy a drink or snack, please be kind and donate at least $1.00 to their tip jar for their willingness for allowing us to take up their space. 2. During the Silent Reading Session, please keep socializing to a minimum. If you need to talk or say something to someone, please compare your voice levels to how you would talk in the library. Be considerate of those around you. 3. After the event is over you may stay if you wish. And as mentioned previously, you may leave any time before as well.
