So excited to announce an event I have been wanting to do for years...

Hosted by Stand-Up Librarian Meredith Myers and Jeff Morris of Wilson's Book World, BLOOMSDAY - BYOBook will feature readings from Ulysses and performances honoring Joyce, plus offer a variety of Irish-themed refreshments all with the mission to unite the community in reading one of the most important works of modernist literature.

"Think of this night as one kick-ass book club
because if you are going to read a tough novel like Ulysses,
why not do it with a Guinness in one hand and a microphone in the other?
St. Petersburg, get your books out and let's JOYCE Around!"
- Stand-Up Librarian Meredith Myers
