• March at Housing Works Bookstore: Music, Film, Dance, Tumblr, Lapham’s Quarterly, and Amazing Food.

  

  Spring has sprung (maybe?) and we’re celebrating here at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe (definitely!).

• January at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe: Art, Theater, Film, Philanthropy, Storytelling, and more!

  We like books and everything, but sometimes it feels great to be a well-rounded cultural center. This month we’re proud to present a staged theater piece, a short from Sundance, even a panel on painting with live music! We’d also love to see you for classic literary readings and live storytelling, of course.

  Plus, now you can buy all your books from Housing Works Bookstore Cafe – no matter where you live. Search for any book at shophousingworks.com. Low prices and free shipping on every book we stock! Even if we don’t have it, we’ll send you to an Amazon.com page where your purchase still supports Housing Works.
