All Brooklynites trying to beat the summer heat should take a waterside seat for the Books Beneath The Bridge sessions happening throughout this and next month.

Now in its sophomore year, the annual literature series takes place on the Granite Prospect steps near Brooklyn Bridge and features 6 evenings curated by independent, local bookstores.

Each night will see a different reading, Q&A and book signing with selected authors, so be sure to check out the Brooklyn Bridge Park site for dates and details.
