Solstice salon - Native Intelligence

Adrienne Crew • June 20 2008 2:19 PM

Here it is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, and all I want to do is stay inside to read books. There's plenty of book events happening this weekend so I can have fun in the sun and satisfy my book cravings.

Skylight Books hosts "Skylight Salon" this Saturday from 4 PM to 5:30 PM. The bookstore will serve wine and light munchies while staffers will be on hand to introduce works from their favorite small presses. This month's picks come from Feral House Press, AK Press and Europa Editions.
Skylight Books, 1818 N Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, 90027
