Back by popular demand, Tara Hoot will be joining us once again, this year! Reading is…FUNdamental! Join us at the Crown & Anchor for drag story time.

Do you love books? Grab a raffle ticket as you enter, and OurShelves will choose a raffle winner who gets to choose books to take home with them! Want to check out some of the newest LGBTQ+ kids' books? Our long-time friends at OurShelves will also join us to share and sell some of their favorite LGBTQ+ and other diverse kids' books curated by leading national diverse kids' books experts! 

Our host for the event is Sneha Scharbach

Sneha Scharbach is an NYC-based comedian, Indian-American, and LGBTQ+ mom of two who turns family chaos into comedy gold. Her stand-up dives into coming out to traditional Indian parents, raising kids with her wife Kathryn, and the beautiful mess of modern queer parenting—with a healthy dose of sarcasm and spice (last time she wore a sari, her mom made her). She recently lit up the stage at Breaking Barriers: An AANHPI Celebration and is quickly becoming a must-watch voice in comedy.

This event was incredibly popular last year. Be sure to arrive early to ensure a seat!
