The EMPL BookHouse Presents…!
Welcome! You have found the BookHouse, home of the Eastern Monroe Public Library’s series of cultural programs. Programs generally take place on the third or fourth Friday of each month, except for January, March, August, November and December. Admission is free and open to the public, and refreshments are available for a modest charge.
The BookHouse provides a venue for literary and musical events that are outside of the commercial and literary mainstream. Suggestions are always welcome! To suggest a BookHouse performer, or to sign up for monthly email reminders on upcoming programs, send an email to: bookhouse@monroepl.org .
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. the night of each event, and the performance will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please plan to arrive before the scheduled starting time. The BookHouse program takes place in the Edinger Community Room of Eastern Monroe Public Library, located at 1002 North 9th Street (Rt. 611 and Chipperfield Drive) in Stroudsburg. For more information call (570) 421-0800 x. 312.

Mountain Winds
Woodwind Quintet
The Mountain Winds Quintet is a classical woodwind ensemble that performs a wide variety of music–for this performance, they will be focusing on television show theme music–and you will be thrilled with their sound alongside so many thousands of other previous audience members. The five professionally trained musicians in their group create a lovely blend of flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon. Come experience the fun nostalgia!
Our BookHouse concerts are performed at the Eastern Monroe Public Library Hughes Building’s Edinger Community Room, located at 1002 North 9th Street (Rt. 611 and Chipperfield Drive) in Stroudsburg. For more information call (570) 421-0800 x. 312.
