Don't sleep on this chance to support @euglibrary - visit eplfoundation.org/booked or the link in our bio to get tickets before it's too late!
Booked for the Evening, will be held on Saturday, April 25, on the fourth floor of the downtown Eugene Public Library.
Our theme this year is ✨Stories Among the Stars✨. Funds raised at this year's Booked for the Evening will help the library continue to provide quality programming for patrons of all ages that brings literature to life, including visits from beloved authors — our literary stars✨.
✨”Wow!” is the most frequent comment at the Downtown Eugene Public Library since we opened the redesigned first floor. With construction complete, everyone’s enjoying more choice, space and convenience — especially for browsing Library of Things, Lucky Day and video games. 📚🎮
.
Come see the changes for yourself or listen to the latest Inside Eugene podcast episode (link in bio) to hear more about the redesign process. ✨🎙️
