Dewey Decimal Drinks: A gathering of St. Louis librarians/library workers to network, chit-chat, and to talk about things librarians talk about after work.

We will meet this Thurs., Nov. 8th, starting at 7pm at Riley’s Pub, 3458 Arsenal (just east of Grand). The place is accessible via the #30 Soulard and #70 Grand buses. Riley’s is the kind of place that feels like my neighborhood pub even though it ain’t in my neighborhood. They have big, tall wooden booths and St. Louis style pizza that is actually good. They’re giving us a drink special this month (on a microbrew, methinks). I’m excited, and I hope you can make it.

Heads up: Riley’s is pretty smoky, if that’s an issue for you.

Bookishly yours,
Claire-ian the Librarian
