The New York Public Library and WNYC — two indispensable New York institutions — are partnering to host a virtual book club to bring New Yorkers together and foster community during an unprecedented time of social separation.

Black Buck by Mateo Askaripour

Borrow the book (and more than 300,000 others) for free through the Library’s e-reader app SimplyE, available for iOS and Android devices.

Host Alison Stewart and the Library will accompany readers throughout the month, providing touchpoints on-air and on social media at @allofitwnyc and @nypl. Plus, don't miss out on our librarian-led book club discussions, hosted online. Find a discussion group!

Join the author, Stewart, and readers everywhere for a live stream conversation and audience Q&A on Thursday, February 25 at 7 PM.
