Banned Books Speakeasy
April 12 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
$3.71
For its third edition, The Study at Morrison House once again invites you into its best-kept secret…
Our shelves are filling back up—and so is our cocktail menu—with banned books that have sparked conversation for generations. As a haven for storytelling, we continue to celebrate the power of the written word while giving back to the libraries that keep these stories alive.
What began as a hidden escape for literary lovers has quickly become a favorite tradition. We’re opening the door once more to our intimate, book-lined speakeasy—where forbidden stories inspire every sip.

RESERVE A TIMED ENTRY TICKET

All curious readers must secure a timed entry ticket —your key to meeting our librarian and slipping into our hidden world of forbidden tales. Directions on where to find our secret door and librarian will be texted the week of the event. Once you’ve gained access, you can read, mingle, and sip for as long as you’d like.

SUPPORTING LOCAL LIBRARIES

Your $2 timed entry ticket is donated fully to the Virginia Library Association in support of local libraries and librarians. Last year, the event was able to raise almost $4,500! If you’re interested in additional donations, you can support the Virginia Library Association’s Librarian of Color Forum Award, LGBTQIA+ Forum Fund, Scholarship Fund, and more!
