Book Doof Lutruwita Tasmania is launching in Nipaluna/Hobart, in collaboration with Book Doof HQ and our Chief Book Babysitter Grant Krupp visiting from our sister City of Literature, Melbourne!

We have found the perfect venue for the first Tassie Book Doof, at the beautiful Forest on Melville Street. Spread out, get comfortable and enjoy an afternoon of reading, quiet community, and an amazing live ambient performance designed for your listening pleasure by guest artists Bing/Santospirito.

Here's how it works: bring whatever you're reading (or borrow something from our mini library), find a spot to lounge, and read in the same room as everyone else for a couple of hours. No book club discussion, no small talk required, no pressure - just the simple, slightly rebellious pleasure of reading with strangers instead of alone. There's time to chat at the end, or you can just keep reading.

Come alone, bring your housemate, your book club or your book-loving kid* - Book Doof is for everyone!

Food and beverage is BYO. We have arranged for our friends at Rude Boy, just around the corner, to open early and they will be ready to serve you takeway food and drinks to bring into The Forest.

When: Saturday 21 November, 2-5pm

Where: The Forest (University of Tasmania), 83 Melville Street, Hobart

Entry: $25 ($15 concession and Palawa/Pakana mob)

*We would love all children under 18 to be supervised by a parent or guardian, ideally 1:1 guardian to child ratio.
