All the info:
Join dozens of terrific writers and performers for a reading of Charles Dickens&rsquo;s holiday classic,&nbsp;A Christmas Carol.
Drop in early and often to catch a few surprise performers or linger through the afternoon for the whole spirited tale. All books, movies, and more are&nbsp;10 percent off, and the cafe will be stocked with seasonal specials. Finish your Christmas shopping with unique literary finds, have some festive treats from our cafe with a hot cocoa or a glass of wine and enjoy!
Festivities will kick off at&nbsp;10:30AM with a special show for kid&rsquo;s from&nbsp;The Story Pirates. At noon we&rsquo;ll enjoy Christmas caroling from members of the&nbsp;New York City Master Chorale. The reading of&nbsp;A Christmas Carol&nbsp;will begin at 1 PM inside the bookstore and end at approximately 4:15PM.
