The Reading Room is a newly renovated space offering a library of art, poetry, and design books meant to serve as inspiration to artists-in-residence. The initial collection of texts, ranging from the traditional to the obscure, was curated by Spoonbill & Sugartown Booksellers in Brooklyn, New York. As the newest part of our campus, the Reading Room will occasionally be the site of pop-up exhibitions, poetry readings, and other community events.The five-unit Victorian building at 12 Bridge Street sits at the foot of the Frenchtown Bridge in the heart of Frenchtown’s shopping district with its bookstore, cafes, and shops.
