Cocktails & Conversations

Join Derby Street Shops, in partnership with Robbin Mangano, founder of Sunday Reading Book Club, for an intimate evening celebrating books, community, and connection.

Enjoy light bites, drinks, and meaningful conversation with fellow book lovers, plus a 30-minute moderated panel led by Mangano with local authors Tracy Sierra and Karen Winn. The discussion will explore what’s driving the renewed passion for reading, how audiences can support authors and independent bookstore culture, and why reading has reemerged as a powerful form of escape, self-care, and connection in an increasingly digital world.

Your ticket includes:

• Light bites (additional food available to order from the bartaco dinner menu)
• One drink ticket
• Access to 30-minute moderated panel discussion with local authors Tracy Sierra and Karen Winn
• A personalized gift
• A complimentary book
• And more fun surprises

TICKETS AVAILABLE VIA THE DERBY STREET INSIDER APP.

A portion of ticket proceeds will benefit Raising a Reader MA.
