The Bookish Ball will feature a “Book Stroll” from 3:00 until 7:00 p.m. and A Grand Public Ball from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. All events are free and families are encouraged to attend. Harvard Square, a place of books, learning, and public discourse for almost 400 years, is currently celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Harvard Coop, the 75th Anniversary the Harvard Book Store, the 60th anniversary Harvard University Press Display Room, the 30th anniversary of Newbury Comics, the 25th Anniversary of The Globe Corner Bookstore and the 15th Anniversary of James and Devon Gray Booksellers. The Harvard Square Business Association is sponsoring the Bookish Ball to celebrate the significant anniversaries of our long-standing bookstores, and to honor and acknowledge the enormous importance of all of the bookstores in Harvard Square. The Harvard Square Business Association Kiosk will be set-up in front of Holyoke Center (Forbes Plaza – 1350 Massachusetts Avenue) from 1:00 pm on April 12th to distribute the Bookish Ball “Passport to Wisdom.” The passport will feature a map of all participating Harvard Square bookstores, newsstands, and comic book stores, as well as showcase our restaurants featuring Bookish Ball menus and special offers. In addition, the passport will provide information about timed in-store author readings and performances happening in the bookstores and throughout the square. We anticipate that many stores will have special events and others will offer music and refreshments. The exact details will be published on www.harvardsquare.com in advance of the event. Book Stroll participants will be encouraged to browse all of the bookstores and get their passbooks stamped. Stamped passports must be returned to the Kiosk by 8:00 pm the same day to be entered into the free Bookish Ball prize drawing.
