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.
