The Lit Ball

Throw on your reading glasses—the Library is open!

Celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month with a #Stonewall50 Summer Reading Party.

Come in your best Lit Ball couture for:

• Drag Performances


• Shady Lady crafting


• Shakespearean Insult Workshop


• Blind Date with a Queer Book

... and more!

Tea (sipping encouraged) and light refreshments will be provided. 

FIRST COME, FIRST SEATED
For free events, we generally overbook to ensure a full house. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance, but registration does not guarantee admission. All registered seats are released shortly before start time, and seats may become available at that time. A standby line will form thirty minutes before the program.

ASL interpretation and real-time (CART) captioning available upon request. Please submit your request at least two weeks in advance by emailing accessibility@nypl.org.
