Didn't get a ticket to the Silo City Reading Series? We are trying something new. For the first time ever, we'll be broadcasting the June 27th reading and performance featuring Ross Gay and Aitina Fareed-Cooke live to the big screen in the backyard of Duende, allowing more people to experience the event together in real time from the Silo City grounds.

Join Just Buffalo Literary Center as we culminate our six-month In Gratitude project with an afternoon of connection, reflection, and community at Silo City.

Join us for an intimate, exclusive experience with renowned poet and essayist Ross Gay as he leads a Guided Gratitude Walk through the grounds of Silo City.

Grown Ups get together and talk about a book - in a children's bookstore. What could be better than that?! In June we are collaborating with Just Buffalo's In Gratitude project! In Gratitude is a city-wide reading and writing initiative designed to bring our community together. This project invites us all to practice “unabashed gratitude”—a concept inspired by the renowned poet and essayist Ross Gay.

Join JBLC at the 2026 Youth Voices Conference at Buffalo State for some reflection and writing.
