Booked for the Night

Thursday, September 15

6 - 9 pm 

 

In 2011, the Library hosted an event called Booked for the Night and it was a huge success.  Now, in celebration of the Library's 10th anniversary at our current location, Booked for the Night returns!  Join fellow Library supporters for an evening of food, spirits, and entertainment among the bookshelves.  A highlight of the evening will be an extensive Silent Auction with items ranging from original art, to professional sports memorabilia, to signed first-edition books...and everything in between.  Tickets are $40 per person and can be purchased at the Library or online at www.bookedforthenight.bpt.me.  All proceeds benefit the Library's Technology Update and Upgrade Initiative. Mark your calendars now!  Space is limited.
