After Hours at the Bookstore

Please note: This event is now SOLD OUT. There will not be a standby line for this event.

Harvard Book Store presents a very special late night, limited entry, 21+ event in celebration of Independent Bookstore Day, spooky literature, and the quiet magic of the bookstore at night.

Ticket holders will get exclusive access to the bookstore after we close at 11pm on Saturday, April 30th.

We'll lock the doors, turn down the lights, and settle in for ghostly readings by SAMANTHA HUNT, author of Mr. Splitfoot, and KELLY LINK, author of Get in Trouble: Stories, a finalist for the 2015 Pulitzer Prize.

After the readings we'll open up the darkened store for refreshments, browsing by flashlight, and 20% off all purchases until the clock strikes one. And no need to BYOF ("bring your own flashlight"), as a limited edition Harvard Book Store–branded flashlight will be included in each ticket.

It's "Night at the Museum," but in the bookstore, for grownups. Wine, beer, and light snacks will be served.

Tickets are $25 and go on sale Tuesday, April 19 at 9am (online only). The 20% off promotion does not compound the discount on already discounted items. Gift cards, self publishing services, event tickets, and Kobo devices and e-books are not included in the sale.
