Our Mission
|
Stoneham Reads brings people together to discuss a common book to inspire thoughtful conversations, build connections and strengthen our community.
Stoneham Reads BYOB - Bring Your Own Book!
Stoneham Reads invites you to an exciting gathering this fall at the Stones Common House and Kitchen. Join us Wednesday, October 19th from 7 pm-9:30 pm as we meet to discuss how our favorite books have shaped our worldview.
Drop by the Stones for drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and "BYOB" - Come tell us about how a book impacted your view of yourself, your community, and the broader world. Complimentary beer, wine, mocktails, and appetizers will be offered, and cocktails and other food will be available to purchase. We encourage you to register by October 14th and join us for a night of drinks, books, and community conversation. |
