Lectores read the daily newspapers in multiple languages, recited poetry and great works of literature, as well as, comical dramas while factory workers quietly rolled cigars.

Described as both a listening room and wine bar, Lector is prepared to host groundbreaking author readings, open mic nights and natural wine tasting classes. Residents will have the opportunity to sample the wines at Lector while enjoying a taste of poetic culture on Saturday, May 20.
