Closing Bell: 24-Hour Read-in at Central Library Branch

This weekend the grassroots organization Urban Librarians Unite is holding a 24-hour read-in on the steps on the Central Library Branch at Grand Army Plaza. Participants can sign up to read something of their choosing for a 15-minute period — and yes, the read-in will last for an entire day! The event starts on Saturday at 4 pm and lasts until 4 pm on Sunday. Four hours of family story time will be held from 8 am to noon on Sunday, and the more controversial stuff should hold until the 2 am to 4 am slot. Urban Librarians Unite planned the event to make a statement against the proposed cuts to the public library system.
