Spring Book Buzz with Denver Public Library
Denver Public Library's readers' advisors preview thirty new and forthcoming titles across genres at Fiction Beer Company — and every attendee takes home a free book.
Why we picked this
The best reading recommendation comes from someone who has already read the book and knows what kind of reader you are — this is exactly what the DPL readers' advisors do, and doing it in a taproom with a beer in hand is the most sensible possible format.
Denver Public Library’s readers’ advisors are among the most useful cultural resources in the city. They read broadly, track what is newly published and what is about to arrive, and have the professional habit of matching books to people rather than simply recommending the loudest titles of the moment. The Spring Book Buzz is their semi-annual showcase: a focused, conversational evening built around thirty recent and forthcoming books across fiction, nonfiction, and genre, held at Fiction Beer Company on East Colfax.
The format is informal rather than performative — this is not a panel or a reading but a guided conversation about what is worth your time heading into summer. Attendees leave with a free book while supplies last, chosen from the evening’s featured titles.
Fiction Beer Company, with its literary theme and East Colfax address, is a well-chosen venue for an event built around the idea that reading is a social pleasure rather than a solitary obligation.
