Reading Rhythms: Summer Romance Reading Party

Find your next summer fling—between the covers of a book!

Join us for a romance-themed reading party. 

Reading Rhythms and NYPL are teaming up for a sizzling summer reading party!

• Unwind with quiet reading time set to music


• Meet author Lana Schwartz and get a free copy of her book Set Piece—while supplies last!


• Mingle with romance readers, writers, and librarians


• Enjoy a free non-alcoholic beverage (while supplies last)


• Pick up stickers, swag, and books from local press 831 Stories


• Find your next great read with curated book carts


• Get or renew a library card

Whether you're a longtime romance reader or just curious, you won't want to miss this!

To join the event | Doors will open 30 minutes before the program begins. For free events, we generally overbook to ensure a full house. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance, but registration does not guarantee admission. Booked seats that have not been claimed will be released shortly before start time, and seats may become available then. A standby line will form 30 minutes before the program.
