A present for dad that will last longer than an afternoon – and make everyone happy? This is the Bedside Reading Father’s Day collection of free books lying next to beds in popular Hamptons hotels. Thrillers, memoirs, romance novels, and children’s books are there for dads to enjoy (and share with family!). And with a special QR code, which is located in a gift card in each pocket, visitors can access additional books via the download program with two business books. Bedside Reading is currently celebrating its 20th season of the best beach reads in The Hamptons and continues to be a must-have for its local hotel partners serving beach goers looking for beach reading.
“Our Father’s Day collection is a great gift for dad and the whole family,” says Jane Ubell-Meyer, founder of Bedside Reading. “I remember spending the summers in Southampton and besides wading for clams in the bay, books were and still are my favorite thing!”
