NESFA Cookout at Larz Anderson Park

All fans are welcome! Join us for our Annual Cookout on Sunday September 6th from 3 pm to 7 pm at The Shelter (a covered area with 6 grills & 8 tables) at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline! The Shelter is on the west side of the park and the best parking lot to use is the one at 358 Goddard Ave. Walk south from the parking lot past the restrooms toward the lake and you will find us.

NESFA will provide the basics: hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, condiments, and fire! Please bring something especially a side dish to share.

Note that dogs, hibachis, and alcohol are not allowed in this area or anywhere in the Park.

Help Catalog The NEFSA Library!

We have recently received a couple of large donations of books for the NESFA Library. We need YOUR help sorting through them to see if we need an item (we don't have it or it is in better condition than the copy we have) and / or cataloging additions. Please email library (at) nesfa (dot) org or just show up any Wednesday or Saturday between 1 and 5 PM.

PS Our catalog of videos, young reader fiction collection, main single-author fiction collection, anthologies, non-fiction, art books, graphic novels, Ace doubles, other doubles, and audiobooks is available at www.tinyurl.com/NESFALibraryCatalog.
