Schedule

Plan your Night at the Library!

Reservations required:
There are several performances and activations that require a reservation to experience. Here’s how it works: After you enter the event, head to the location of reservation-required activations to receive a Return Pass. The Return Pass will have a time for you to return to the location, cutting down on the time you spend in line and maximizing the time you have to experience all we have to offer at this year’s Night at the Library.

These are marked on the schedule or listing below with a star* including: Bob Baker Marionette Theater; Heidi Duckler Dance; bespoke poetry by RENT Poet; tarot readings by Michelle Tea and Davida Rappaport; and screenprinting by Color Compton.
