Public Service Announcements - Library

Evening in the Library Stacks

The Friends of the Library are proud to again present the popular Evening in the Stacks. Due to last year’s remodeling of the Library, it was necessary to skip a year, but this year promises to be that much better.

The event will be held at the Library on Saturday, May 15, from 6:30 to 9:30 P.M. The entertainment will include live music by Steve Cassling and the Simply Voices Choir and there will be programs such as Gardening by Linda Burgess, Jewelry Making by Verlaine Bennett, Rare Books by Meryl Bobzien, and biking and trails by Ken Dally, and antique cars by a representative from the organization..

Local restaurants, Copper Q, Sugarpine Bakery, Sweet Basil and Jasper’s Smokehouse are donating hors d’oeuvres and desserts. Coffee and wine will be served.

This is one of the primary fundraisers for the Library and guests will have an opportunity to become a Donor as a Page or a Bibliophile. Her honor, Liz Harris, Mayor of Big Bear Lake, and David Leach, newly elected man About Town, President of the Arts Council and past Rotary President will be on hand to explain these special opportunities to support the Library.

Donations for this event are $15 per person and advance tickets are available at the Library, checks only.
