Quiet Read-a-Thon

-
Barnard Library, 2nd floor Milstein Center
  • Add to Calendar 2026-10-15 16:00:00 2026-10-15 18:00:00 Quiet Read-a-Thon Leave distracting devices at home or silent in your bag and focus on reading your book, zine, printed poems/short stories, or book on your e-reader or accessible device. This is a reading-focused event meant to experiment with devoting time and space to the thrill of sustained quiet reading. E-readers and devices necessary for accessibility are great, but quiet leisure reading is the goal. Leisure reading is encouraged! Maybe you’ll bring something from the zine library or a print book you found in CLIO or NYPL. You can stay a while at the end to chat about what you read if you like (but no pressure!). Tea and light snacks available. Registration here is encouraged but not required to attend.  Image Barnard Library, 2nd floor Milstein Center Barnard College barnard-admin@digitalpulp.com America/New_York public
