Thank You for Joining Us at Booked for the Evening!
On Thursday, July 10, 2025, more than 350 guests gathered at the Downtown Main Library for a one-of-a-kind, after-hours celebration of all things Library. Hosted by The Library Foundation, Booked for the Evening offered a fresh and fun look at what makes our Library so special and created an unforgettable night of discovery, creativity, and connection for our community of Library supporters.
But don’t just take our word for it! Here are a few of the comments we received from guests after the event:
“This event was delightful! I attended alone not knowing anyone and made so many connections. I feel more informed and intentionally connected to services the library offers and having experienced this event now have a desire to engage in new things (makerspace, genealogy, coming to the main library to see things only available there).”
“10/10 this event went above and beyond! Every detail was thought out […] The friendly staff all around who were all so eager to share their knowledge. The food and drinks were excellent, activities were plentiful and engaging. I thought I knew everything about our library but I was wrong!“
“EVERYTHING. Fairy garden! Champagne toast! Book Hookup! Special Tour! First edition Austen and illustrated Frankenstein! Bespoke Book Spine! ALL of the food. Ice cream! Meeting amazing staff! Seriously, I grinned like an idiot the entire night.“
Thanks to our guests, sponsors, and incredible Library staff, the event raised vital funds to support the Library’s programs and services across Hamilton County.
We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this night such a success! Stay tuned for what’s next—and we hope to see you at the Library again soon!
