​Reading in the Park is an inclusive space for book lovers who want to be in community. Join us at Absent for a 2-hour session: the first hour is for connecting with others and enjoying the space, the second hour is for quiet, shared reading of our respective books. Bring your current read or pick up a book on arrival. Drinks and snacks encouraged; come early, stay late, and enjoy the space.
