What?? Your Reading Series is evolving!

Yes that's right, just like a well-trained Pokémon, Night School is transforming — by adding a fifth reader, starting in May! We're going to experiment with more fun ways to keep the party going, too, but you'll have to turn out to see what those might be...
...and your first opportunity to do so will be 6pm on Tuesday May 19! What a line-up we have in store for you, too: Marcy Dermansky, Chiara Di Lello, Benjamin Hale, Michelle Maryk, Emma Parry — it's going to be a killer night.

Free as always, but be sure to pick up a book or five, have a drink at the bar, treat yourself to a tahini miso cookie!

MISSION MONDAY!!

A portion of today’s sales will go to @hudsonvalleyamps!

Hudson Valley Amps is an arts and activism organization for girls, trans and gender expansive youth ages 14-17.

“Our mission is to create a safe space for rockstars to learn about music, social justice, and leadership skills in order to give each camper the tools they need to become empowered advocates for themselves and their communities. We prioritize amplifying voices that embody intersecting marginalized identities. We support these teens as they find a way to express themselves through art & music. In order to reach the students we intend to serve, it is part of Hudson Valley Amps’ mission to offer all programming for free or on a sliding scale and to provide instruments for the duration of camp.”

Swing by today to learn more and/or contribute to this great local cause!

Happy Mother’s Day ☀️

Open 8-8 for all your Mom Day needs 📚 🍷 ☕️ 🍻 💐

#ReadSipRepeat #mothersday

We're delighted to welcome the legendary David Baerwald for the launch of his debut novel, THE FIRE AGENT! You might know David from his musical work (including but not limited to writing “Come What May” from Moulin Rouge and playing with a veritable who’s-who of musical talent from the last half-century) but it turns out he’s a spectacular writer as well. Our own Drew Broussard will be chatting with David about his book and David will be signing copies after. 

Join us at 6pm on Tuesday June 2nd — free, as always, but be sure to pick up a copy of the book and grab a drink or a snack from the bar!

#readsiprepeat #roughdraftny #bookstagram #indiebookstore #bookstoreevent #kingstonny #hudsonvalleyevents

THE OFFICIAL BOOK LAUNCH for THE PROBLEM DRINKER will be @roughdraftny in Kingston on JUNE 1st at 6 p.m. What better way to kick off the summer than with a bookish, boozy Monday night? 🍸🚬

Comment your favorite drink if we’re going to see you there.
