Bedside Reading, the only program to place complimentary bestsellers at the bedsides of luxury hotels across the U.S., is excited to announce Bedside Reading Hamptons, just in time for summer.  This Memorial Day Weekend—along with 4 other weekends this summer—guests checking in to select hotels including Baron’s Cove in Sag Harbor and the The Maidstone Inn in East Hampton will receive a tote filled with free books from Bedside Reading Hamptons!  How cool is that?  This means you can start a book upon arrival and take it home to finish it, absolutely free, no crazy minibar charges.

Weekends: May 28th (Memorial Day), June 14 (Flag Day), July 4 (Independence Day), August 3rd (National Watermelon Day) and September 3rd (Labor Day).  Bedside Reading Hamptons will launch in Sag Harbor at Baron’s Cove, White Fences in Water Mill, In East Hampton at The Maidstone Inn, The Mill House Inn and The Baker House, and exclusively in Southampton at the Southampton Inn. The summer program has evolved from Ubell-Meyer’s Hampton Gift Bag program that began 17 years ago.

Launching from Southampton to East Hampton, Bedside Reading Hamptons gives hotel guests a reason to unplug and relax with a good book. “Our goal is to remind hotel guests what it means to hold a book in their hands and delve into the world of words, while at the same time soaking up the ambiance at summer’s hottest destinations,” says Bedside Reading founder, Jane Ubell-Meyer.  “And the best part is, you get to take that book with you when you leave, for free.”

This Memorial Day weekend Bedside Reading Hamptons bag will include the titles: Before I Let You Go, By Invitation Only, Daughter of Destiny, Educated, Endless Beach, High Season, How to Walk Away, Lighthouse Beach, Love & Ruin, Lying Game, Maid for Love, Sunburn, The Cactus, The Secret of Southern Charm, This I Know, and Unstoppable Influence. And a fun treat, Nightfood, “the better night time snack for late night cravings”.

For those not staying at one of the hotel partners, you can reserve a Bedside Reading Hamptons bag (will offer 6-8 books) valued at over $200 to be picked up in the Hamptons at Lucille Khornak Gallery in Bridgehampton or shipped anywhere in the U.S.  For this service, a small fee is is charged that helps to offset the cost of hiring and working with Abilis, Inc., a non-profit organization that provides services and supports over 700 individuals with special needs and their families.
