The Elizabeth Taber Library in Marion is pleased to announce its 2022 Fundraiser Event: Tables Of Content, repeating an event that was highly successful in 2018 and 2019. On Friday, June 17 and Sunday, June 26, 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 and date availability 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. You won’t know who else is coming to dinner until the night of the event. 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. *Books listed with an asterisk will be hosted in an outdoor or screened porch venue.
