Bookhouse

Welcome! You have found the BookHouse, home of the Eastern Monroe Public Library's series of cultural programs. Programs generally take place on the fourth Friday of each month, except for August and December. Admission is free, and refreshments are available for a modest charge.

The intention of the BookHouse is to provide a venue for literary and musical events that are outside of the commercial and literary mainstream. Suggestions are always welcome. To suggest a BookHouse performer, or to sign up for monthly email reminders on upcoming programs, send email to: bookhouse@monroepl.org

Doors will open at 7 p.m. the night of each event, and the performance will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first served basis. Please plan to arrive before the scheduled starting time. All BookHouse programs are free and open to the public. The BookHouse program takes place in the Edinger Community Room of Eastern Monroe Public Library, located at 1002 North 9th Street (Rt. 611 and Chipperfield Drive) in Stroudsburg. For more information call (570) 421-0800, x28.

Upcoming BookHouse Events

Note: Unless otherwise noted, all events begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Edinger Community Room at Hughes Library.

SPECIAL SUMMER BOOKHOUSE CONCERT!
Friday, July 23rd @ 7:30 PM
Singer-Songwriter JEFF WORKMAN

Summer is here…and summer is always all about good times and good music! On Friday, July 23rd at 7:30 PM, the Bookhouse will present a special Summer Concert featuring JEFF WORKMAN. Jeff is a talented singer-songwriter, and a veteran of numerous bands. He is currently the front man for Ohio’s hottest country-rock band, RIDGE RUNNER. We are very lucky to have Jeff for an exclusive Pennsylvania solo date in the midst of Ridge Runner’s hectic schedule of shows this summer. Armed with his guitar, his powerful voice, and a passionate love of music, Jeff will have the Bookhouse rockin’ for one awesome summer night. Be sure to check out Jeff and his music on the official website of Ridge Runner, www.ridgerunnerband.com

Doors open at 7PM, and weather permitting, we can all enjoy some nice cool refreshments in the library’s garden area during intermission. Admission is FREE, and all ages are admitted.
