Saratoga Springs Public Library Hosts Read-In & Open Mic on Sunday to Support Libraries


A “Read-In” will take place April 13 at SSPL to show public support for libraries.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Springs Public Library is inviting members of the community to attend a Read-In to support libraries. 

The event will take place noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 13. 

The library is encouraging library lovers and supporters to stop in and read for at least an hour. 

“We’ll have cookies, comfy chairs, and plenty of reading material to choose from — novels, magazines, and audiobooks,” said Librarian Caitlin Sheldon, who organized the special event.  

Participants will also have the opportunity to fill out a library testimonial card explaining why libraries are important to them, and resources explaining how to support your local library will also be available.

In addition to the Read-In, the library will host an Open Mic in the H. Dutcher Community Room from 12:30-1:30 p.m. when people are invited to read their favorite book passages, poems, or tell their favorite library stories. Those who wish to read may register for a five-minute time-slot through their online Events Calendar.

The Saratoga Springs Public Library is celebrating their 75th year serving the local community, and beyond. For more information about the library’s collection, services, and programming, visit: www.sspl.org.
