Night in the Library

We are no longer accepting RSVPs for this event, but we encourage you to come to Central Library and we will admit patrons as capacity allows.

 

 

On Saturday, March 8, 2025 at 7 pm, Night in the Library returns with The Sky Above Brooklyn –The Philosophy of the Sublime.

Don't be alone with your thoughts.

Night in the Library is an after-hours invitation to discussions, performances and screenings that celebrate the free flow of ideas and the company of others.

The Sky Above Brooklyn – The Philosophy of the Sublime reminds us that the reality we experience is only a small part of a much bigger picture. It invites us to deepen our awareness, moving beyond the influences of social media and the narratives of our time by embracing the complexity of our lives and continually broadening our perspective. Programs will introduce fresh ways of thinking about how to navigate the world around us with renewed attention, sensitivity, and curiosity.

Join us for thought-provoking programs and presentations from the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, the dancers Baye & Asa, the ACLU, authors Darryl Pinckney, Alissa Quart, Sarah Lewis and Molly Crabapple, mathematician Manil Suri, reporter Hamilton Nolan, artist and musician Laurie Anderson, and many others to be announced. All programs are free, with books, food and refreshments available for purchase.

Please RSVP to receive updates about the event.
