Mark your calendar – A Novel Night Out with the Carnegie-Stout Public Library Foundation is back!
May 14 – 5-8 p.m.
Join the Carnegie-Stout Public Library Foundation on Wednesday, May 14 from 5–8 PM at Dimensional Brewing Company for an evening of books, brews, and community support.
A Novel Night Out invites you to sip your favorite brews while members of the Library Foundation Board step behind the bar to serve (and collect tips!) all in support of the library. Come hungry, too – Pulido’s will be back this year serving up some delicious eats.
Help Us Beat Last Year’s Total
Last year’s inaugural event raised $3,400 for the Foundation. This year, we’re aiming even higher with a goal of $5,000 – and every tip and raffle ticket helps get us there.
Looking for a fun way to support the library’s upcoming renovation? This is it! Come raise a glass to our expanded Makerspace, updated Teen Zone and new kids play area! All tips and raffle proceeds directly benefit the Library Foundation.
