The Folger is partnering with Reading Rhythms for a Friday night reading party in the Great Hall. Grab a book and stay cool!
Reading Rhythms is a series of welcoming reading parties designed to make it easy for people to gather and read socially. Bring any book you want! Reading Rhythms facilitate silent reading periods, as well as 1-on-1 breakouts and group discussions to pull on the threads of the books that everyone is engaging with.
In a world that can often feel devoid of interest and meaningful connection, get together with other readers to reconnect with our love of learning, to experience the wonder of a beautiful space and curated music, and to gather amongst all of the people who want to be in that very same room.
Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase at Quill & Crumb.
