  • You're going to have to read somewhere else on Wednesday.

Sad news for fans of reading and silence and parties: Wednesday's silent-reading party is off. The Sorrento is under new management (although it's still owned by the same folks), and the new managers are doing a remodel, which will include a remodel of the Fireside Room. I am sad to say they're getting rid of that carpet. I love that carpet. I really wish they wouldn't get rid of it. But seasons change, carpets change… Happily, the new management is not getting rid of the silent-reading party. As a matter of fact, they've said they want to invest more in the silent-reading party, which might mean more drink specials, or a longer musical set, or actual readings following the silent-reading, or collaborations with the library, or [insert idea here]. As for what the Fireside Room remodel will look like, well, we'll find out at the February reading party, on February 4th.
