Proceeds from this event will directly advance initiatives that change lives every day, including The Summer Learning Program, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and a new interactive children’s library planned for the downtown Main Library.
Each ticket includes dinner. A cash bar will be available.
Reserve tickets.
Please consider joining us to help Stark Library Foundation celebrate the community impact of our volunteers and continue the beautiful promise of our public library services into the future.
