Brooklyn Bridge Park announces 2014 Books Beneath the Bridge series line-up
The Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy (Conservancy) has announced the full lineup for its third annual Books Beneath the Bridge series. This free summer literary series, which features outdoor readings curated by local, independent bookstores, will begin on July 7 at 7 p.m. and run for six consecutive Mondays at Pier 1’s Granite Prospect. The lead sponsor for the series is AT&T.
“We are pleased to be hosting Books Beneath the Bridge again this year as part of our free summer programming lineup,” said Nancy Webster, executive director of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy. “This event has quickly become one of our most anticipated programs at the park and we are happy to be welcoming yet another impressive lineup of authors this summer.”
“Thousands of people from New York and beyond visit this amazing park every year, and what better way to spend a summer evening than with great literature set against the beautiful New York skyline,” said Marissa Shorenstein, New York State President, AT&T. We hope that this series becomes an annual event for all park visitors for years to come.”
