Brooklyn Book Clubs.

Book clubs are a wonderful way to meet your neighbors, inspire other aspects of your life and give you a kick in the pants to read more!  We’ve noticed many popping up here and there, such as the Brooklyn Public Library’s 1984 book discussion.  Also, next to our Columbia Street office, the bookstore Freebird has […]
