20 THE QUEENS COURIER • AUGUST 14, 2014 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.queenscourier.com Photo courtesy of Sinead Curran Sunnyside bar starts monthly book club BY ANGY ALTAMIRANO aaltamirano@queenscourier.com @aaltamirano28 One Sunnyside bar is combining a good read with drinks. Last month, The Courtyard Ale House, located at 40-18 Queens Blvd., began The Courtyard Book Club where bar patrons get together, talk about the previous month’s book pick and then select a new novel. The group meets in the courtyard of the bar the fi rst Monday of every month at 8 p.m. This month 12 people came together, and for the fi rst meeting 16 people showed up. “During the day a lot of people come in and are reading a book,” said Sinead Curran, a bartender at the bar. She came up with the idea of the book club after trying to have conversations about books with patrons, but having to shout at times in the bar atmosphere. “We just decided as a group of the regulars to start a book club.” Curran said any genre of book is welcomed and the group members will take turns every month in choosing a book. July’s selection was “The Night Circus” by Erin Morgenstern and this month the group selected “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle” by David Wroblewski. She also said the group provides a “nice social setting” for everyone to sit around and talk about the book and also stick around after for drinks. “It’s a good way for new people to get to know the neighborhood,” Curran said. “Sunnyside is a community, it’s a very close-knit community. We can all get together, all walks of life and get to know people that you wouldn’t have gotten to know beforehand.” I NOW CONNECT MY LOVED Attend our event and receive: • A free in-office demo of the latest hearing technology, including mobile connectivity options • A complimentary hearing consultation • A free clean & check of your current hearing devices 516.708.4844 gbaudiology.com WITH ONES st Place an AGX5, 7, or 9 hearing system of the 2013 THE QUEENS QueensCourier.com Gloria Boms, Au.D. • Doctor of Audiology Space is limited.
