Afterwords, the Reading Room is located beneath the now-closed widow's walk atop a 19th-century seafarer's cottage on the promontory overlooking our harbor. Recently refurbished, the reading room features a number of small reading areas surrounding a central conversation pit that faces a windowed wall framing the eastward view of the harbor. Refreshments are available at the bar along the western wall.
Afterwords is open 24 hours a day in all seasons. Please do come in and join us for discussions in progress or begin a new one about your favorite book—Classics to Contemporary, all book discussions are welcome.
