There's A Big Book Event Coming

A friend asked me the other day where the "Blog" was. Had I stopped writing it?
No, I told him. We've just been so busy around here lately that I haven't taken the time to do a few lines. But let me tell you, there's a big book event coming.
On Thursday, May 27th, the library will do its usual closing at 5:30 p.m. Everyone will leave (well, patrons, that is), we'll do a quick clean-up, and then reopen the doors at 6:30 p.m. to the public.
From 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. our third annual authors' event, this year titled "Books & Bites," will host 31 authors. That's right...31 authors, all in the same place at the same
time.
For a donation ticket of $5.00, patrons are entitled to receive a plateful of scrumptious "bites" of food and a beverage. The donation will help fund the library book fund, which due to cost-cuts really needs the funding. The food is being provided by several Moultrie organizations, which I'll tell you about in the next blog.
However, for now just let me tell you that we have authors coming from not only Moultrie, but Tifton, DeSoto, Perry, Thomasville, Augusta, Dawson, Bainbridge, Conyers, Ellenton, Hahira, Lake Park, TyTy, and Pavo. They are also coming from Florida cities of Crawfordville, Tallahassee, Monticello, and Panama City Beach.
So, you can see we are planning for an exciting evening.
Be sure you put the date and time on your calendar. This is an event you won't want to miss.
