Simsbury Library Offers Reading Program Just For Millenials

SIMSBURY, CT — Put down your cell phones millenials and stop binge-watching your favorite TV shows via a digital service.

The Simsbury Public Library has a reading program just for your generation.

At the first Wednesday of every month, the library — located at 725 Hopmeadow St. — hosts a program called "Millenials Read."

The next program is Wednesday, March 1, from 7 to 8 p.m.

It is described as a "no-stress" book discussion where readers in their 20s, 30s and, even, their 40s, can talk about current books they like or what they're reading.

Unlike traditional book clubs, however, there are no deadlines to complete works and no anxiety about mastering a book's theme, etc.

You just show up and talk about reading.

"You do not need to be reading anything to participate," wrote the library.

In true millenial technology fashion, the event is virtual via Zoom, with registrants receiving log-in information upon registering.

In addition to Simsbury Public Library clients, the program will also included millenials associated with the Bloomfield Public Library via a special partnership.

And, as a special treat, participants will receive a $5 gift card for Cake Gypsy out of Avon, which offers upscale cupcakes for those with sweet tooths.

Details on how to receive the gift cards is available upon registration as well.
