Sundeck Summer Reads at The Yards

Trade your screen time for page time and spend your summer evenings surrounded by

fellow readers at The Yards. Discover your next obsession from our complimentary

book library, get creative with hands-on activities, and browse used books.

Have a book that's been sitting on your shelf waiting for its next reader? Bring it along

to add to The Yards Community Library and help keep great stories circulating all

summer long. Whether you're hunting for your next five-star read or simply looking

for a laid-back waterfront hang, Sundeck Summer Reads is your weekly excuse to

romanticize the season.

✨ A Special Sundeck Kickoff Event

We're kicking off the series with a special appearance from local author Marisa

Kashino, author of Best Offer Wins.

The first 25 guests will receive a copy of Best Offer in addition to their complimentary

book selection, and Marisa will be onsite meeting readers, signing books, and offering

personalized dedications.

Plus, Fictional Affairs Bookstore—the Instagram-famous traveling bookstore you've

probably already saved to your feed—will be onsite with curated reads, shopping, and

the ultimate book-lover photo op.
