On Saturday, October 18th, one day only, PS11 will host a kick-off event for their first annual Readathon at Brownstone Books. PS11 is a neighborhood elementary school in Clinton Hill.
Brownstone Books has two locations – 409 Lewis Avenue in Bed-Stuy, open from 10am to 7pm and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, 2nd floor, which is open from 5pm to 11pm on that day. Brownstone Books will donate 15% of sales from everything in the bookstore to PS11. PS11 teachers, staff, parents and children will perform readings from their favorite books from 2pm to 4pm at the Bed-Stuy location. Customers who mention PS11’s book sale will qualify for the 15% donation to PS11. There will also be a PS11 wish list for customers to purchase books for the classroom.
