Samuels Public Library is hosting its 10th Anniversary A Taste For Books fundraiser on Saturday, April 22, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. The event raises more than $25,000 to support exceptional library programs and services for Warren County and Front Royal.
This year’s theme, A Journey Through Time, will transform Samuels Public Library into other dimensions and “transport” participants to the past and future through ancient stones, time machines, space transporters and more as they celebrate their love of reading with their favorite time travel books.
The annual fundraiser attracts nearly 300 book lovers and library supporters including business leaders, parents, grandparents and community leaders who come together for a fantastical book-themed evening including eclectic food offerings from local organizations, costume wearing, socializing, an interactive game and a competitive silent auction.
“A Taste For Books is a fun-filled beloved community event that not only raises essential funds for library programs and services, but also connects community,” said Michelle Ross, Director of Samuels Library. “We are so grateful to the many individuals, businesses and community organizations who have stepped up to support our annual fundraiser with significant sponsorships, fabulous silent auction donations, and creative table host commitments.”
This year, guests attending A Taste For Books will receive a personal A Journey Through Time event photo provided by Hotshots Photography. “As a keepsake of our 10th anniversary A Taste For Books, all guests will have the opportunity to step inside the time travel photo booth, and go home with a photo from one of three time periods,” said Melody Hotek, chairperson of the annual event. “This event is good for the library, and a great community event. We hope to see you at our 10th Anniversary A Taste For Books on April 22nd at 6:00 p.m.”
