This lively and entertaining event is a fantastic opportunity to show your support for our region’s best library services and programming while enjoying an evening of time-traveling fun.

With over 300 guests expected to attend, A Taste For Books has become a beloved annual tradition for many library patrons, local businesses, nonprofit organizations, clubs, and community leaders. This year’s theme, A Journey Through Time, promises to be an exciting adventure that transports attendees through different eras and dimensions.

Volunteers play a crucial role in making this event a success, and their creativity is on full display as they host buffet tables featuring decorations and dishes that capture the spirit of each time-traveling vehicle.

So mark your calendars and get ready to join us for an unforgettable celebration of imagination and community spirit. See you at the library!
