the Reading Invasion for tonight is ON

Hi Buffalo friends: 

Despite the rainy weather all day, it looks like things are brightening up, and so we will be meeting tonight  at 7pm as planned. The ground may be a little wet, so bring chairs! 

Please NOTE: Bidwell Pkwy just east of Elmwood is roped off and uncut, so we will be meeting on the WEST side of Elmwood (thanks, Barbara!)

Hope to see you tonight!

1st Reading Invasion of 2021: Monday June 28th!

Buffalo Friends: 

We are pleased to announce the first Buffalo Reading Invasion of 2021.  Please consider joining us (and please pass this information along) on Monday June 28th from 7pm – 8pm in Bidwell Parkway for a special return to reading and gathering and celebrating in our incredible public spaces–together. 

Much of this will feel like it has always felt: we will gather in our beautiful parkway, with books and blankets, chairs and Kindles, snacks and drinks and friends. We hope everyone will honor the time we are living in, keeping ourselves safely spaced and properly protected.

As for the rest? It’s as simple as plopping down with a good book and sharing the experiences of reading together. 

We hope you can make it.

Buffalo Friends:

I am writing to you with exciting news about the final Reading Invasion of the summer. Next Tuesday, August 13th,  in partnership with the Downtown Library and various community groups, we will be celebrating the opening of the new Buffalo Reading Park located directly outside the downtown library.
Part of a full day of exciting activities and events, the Reading Invasion will be the concluding event of the day. From 5:30pm to 6:30, we’ll be setting up outside the downtown library branch for an hour of quiet reading in one of Buffalo’s newest and most exciting public spaces.
Please join us at 5:30, but also consider coming down for activities all afternoon. Events start at 12, and the library will be staying up until 7 (if you need to use the bathroom or pick out a book).
Please spread the word about this special event and come join us next Tuesday in Buffalo’s Reading Park.
