📚Learn about our story time reader: Marlee Kimmick

Marlee (she/her) is a social worker who currently works in public health education for youth in New Jersey. Before having her daughter, Marlee volunteered at the co-op regularly and loved getting to meet people in the community and help connect them to books! One of her favorite things since becoming a mama is reading to her daughter and getting to revisit favorites from her own childhood and getting to experience new titles together (we love Phoebe Wahl, Emily Winfield Martin & anything to do with the lives of artists). Marlee’s top three favorite books are A Little Life, The Bell Jar & On Beauty.

See you at story time! 😘

📖Learn about the book:
Camille Perri has cemented herself as a treasured voice in the literary community. Her previous novels earned praise from authors including Emma Straub, J. Courtney Sullivan, and Elisabeth Egan, and received glowing reviews from major outlets such as The New York Times Book Review, NPR, PopSugar, Elle, and the Associated Press.

This summer, Perri returns with SOCIAL ANIMALS, acompulsively readable, whip-smart tale inspired by her own transformation from reluctant pandemic dog owner to unexpected evangelist for the healing power of pets and community at a time when the loneliness epidemic remains in our social consciousness. Set in an affluent Maryland suburb where the local dog park functions as both battlefield and sanctuary we meet Val Caruso, Alex Reed, and June Kennerson.

A funny and sharp social commentary about community, privilege, dog ownership, and the ultimate power of finding your people (and your pets), SOCIAL ANIMALS blends sharp observational humor, warm emotional insight, and a twist-filled mystery as three women—with nothing in common except the dogs they love—find their lives unexpectedly, sometimes disastrously, intertwining. This is the perfect pet-friendly read!

✍🏼Learn about the author:
Camille Perri is the author of “The Assistants”, “When Katie Met Cassidy” and “SOCIAL ANIMALS”. She has worked as a book editor for Cosmopolitan and Esquire. She has also been a ghostwriter of young adult novels and a reference librarian. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from New York University, where she majored in English and gender and sexuality studies, and a Master of Library Science degree from Queens College. She splits her time between New York City and the Hudson Valley with her wife and their Brussels Griffon named Pip.

🤫N2S SILENT READING & WRITING PARTY in The Carousel Art House | Thursday, June 18th 4PM - 7PM 🤫

👆🏾FREE RSVP link in bio. Space is limited so be sure to sign up! 📚

💃🏽Shhhhhh, let’s party... A party you will never forget hosted by your nerdy friends: Asbury Book Cooperative, Project Write Now, and the Asbury Park Public Library. You are in for some literary fun! On Thursday, June 18th, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., The Carousel Art House will be filled with new & used books and bookish merchandise for browsing, and shopping. 5PM THE PARTY STARTS! This party is BOYB (Bring Your Own [note]Book). Dedicate one hour to your book or your own writing. PWN will provide prompts and quotes to inspire your work and aid progress. Asbury Park Public Library will have a silent kids literary corner featuring children’s books, sensory toys to aid concentration, and Asbury Park inspired coloring sheets. Everyone is invited, but an RSVP is essential! When you RSVP, you will be asked about your desired level of social interaction, whether you would like to rent noise-canceling headphones, and if you will have a little reader accompanying you! The Carousel Art House is technically an outdoor venue so the sounds of ocean waves and excited beachgoers are unavoidable. THIS IS ONE PARTY YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS!

See you there 😘
