Well, the day of our special authors' event has arrived. And we are excited!
The food began arriving early this morning...marshmellow delights, candy-coated pretzel sticks, fruit plates, veggie plates, cookies galore, and all manner of little "bites" of scrumptious food that will just make your mouth water when you see them. A plateful with a beverage is all for the purchase of a donation ticket for $5.00.
So many helpers have provided the food that I'm afraid I'll leave someone out if I try to list them all, but these I know for sure: the Junior Woman's Club, the Women's Federated Club of Moultrie, the Friends of MCCLS, and numerous individuals, including library staff members.
Tickets have been on sale for nearly a month now: from Library Board members, our Friends of MCCLS, Books & More on the downtown Square, staff members, and at the Doerun Library, as well as our circulation counter. If you didn't purchase one earlier, you can when you come tonight. Tickets will be sold just outside the auditorium door, where the "bites" will be waiting for you.
And the library - WOW! - wait until you see the pretty little pots of flowers on the authors' tables. Melody's big grapevine basket is filled with colorful flowers and matching garlands are on each side of it across the low bookcase in the reading area. Near this bookcase is where she will welcome everyone and introduce the authors.
Once their introductions are complete, they will be ushered to the nearby reference area where a group picture will be taken. Our special MCCLS photographer will be present all evening to catch random shots of visitors and authors as they chat about books and writing.
The event is from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. It's going to be a very special evening. Come join us. We're at 204 5th Street Southeast, only three blocks from the downtown Square.
