The Elizabeth Taber Library in Marion is pleased to announce its 2018 Fall Fundraiser Event: Table of Contents. On two evenings in November, generous friends of the Elizabeth Taber Library will host literary-inspired dinners in their homes to raise money for the library’s programming and resource expansion.
Each dinner is based on a book the host selects. Your choice of book will determine where you go. Lively discussion of the book will be the evening’s focal point, in addition to meeting new friends and enjoying a delicious meal. Adding a bit of mystery to the event, the location and host are not revealed until a week before the event, after books and guests have been matched. What fun!
Guests are asked to choose two books from the list, in order of preference. Assignments will be made to accommodate date and book choices to the best of our abilities. Among the books for this year’s event are both new releases and several older, but well-received, titles. The list includes: Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover, Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann, and Bear Town by Fredrik Backman. A complete list of books is included on the library website.
The dates for this year’s event will be Sunday, November 4at 6:00 pm and Friday, November 16at 6:00 pm. Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased online on the library website, elizabethtaberlibrary.org or in person at the library, 8 Spring Street, Marion. Dietary restrictions should be indicated on your reply form, (available on the website).
Tickets will be sold beginning September 17. The deadline for responding is October 8 so that assignments can be made with adequate time to read the book in advance of the dinner date. Tickets are limited, so sign up early to ensure a place at the table.
Questions and concerns, including any dietary restrictions, may be directed to Connie Pierce at 508-748-2372 or cpierce@taboracademy.org.
