BYO Book Gathering on Tues
Join us on Tuesday evenings this summer for a series of relaxed gatherings where books become bridges of connection and conversation. Whether you’re deep into a novel you can’t put down or gently nudging yourself to read something that you’ve bookmarked for later, you’re welcome here.
Location: Waterfront greenspace in front of Hunters Point Library, 47-49 Center Blvd, Long Island City, NY 11109
Look for a yellow, blue, and white picnic blanket and an 8и11 chalk sign!
Hosted by: Lex Bondoc x Collective Ripples
What to Bring:
- Your current read
- Snacks & beverages
- A picnic blanket or towel to sit on
- A curious mind
(We’ll have a limited number of lanterns to share as the sun sets. )
Schedule:
- 7-7:15 PM Welcome & introductions
- 7:15-8 PM Quiet reading time as the sun sets over Manhattan
- 8-8:30 PM Optional conversation or continued reading
Let’s gather to read side by side, then share what resonated with us. Ask questions. Offer reflections. Let your book be a doorway into deeper connection—with yourself and others.
Whether you’re seeking connection or simply a relaxing evening by the water, Collective Ripples invites you to come as you are.
