Maria and Sarah at Dance Dance Library Revolution!

The Desk Set is a group of New York City area librarians, archivists, bibliophiles and other bookish types who meet informally to explore and enjoy literary resources, connect with like-minded folks, and raise money for institutions who promote literacy.

Founded in 2006 by Maria Falgoust and Sarah Murphy, the Desk Set’s primary objective is provide a fun and productive community for people who share an interest in books, literacy and libraries. We also aim to introduce people to cultural institutions of note that they may not otherwise get to explore. Our final goal is to raise funds for organzations whose work we admire – places like Books Through Bars, the New Orleans Public Library, Behind the Book and Passages Academy – by throwing parties that raise money and promote awareness.

The Desk Set is open to everyone. While most of us are librarians, or library science students, we welcome any and all book lovers to join us at any of our parties, field trips and activities. To find out about Desk Set events, please send an e-mail to thedeskset@gmail.com
