Cool Reads for Hot Days - Ice Cream

Coldstone Creamery has very generously donated icecream for our Cool Reads for Hot Days programme at the Plummer House. Join us on Tuesday August 9th from 11 am to 1.30 pm.
We will have ice cream, cake, ice tea and rootbeer to melt away the dog days of summer.
There will be some wonderful silent auction items (literary pocket books, literary stationary and notepads) with book bucket raffles which will even be paired with library wine!
AND
wait, there's more!
Elissa Elliott will also give a delightful talk on her writing, including the novel Eve.

Remember that the proceeds of this event will help support the Rochester Public Library - this time we hope to raise funds to purchase a much needed upgrade for the Children's computers.

We will have a number of literary bucket raffles for some noontime fun. Hope to see you there.

Cool Reads for Hot Days - Save the Date

The Friends and Foundation of the Rochester Public Library will be hosting an Ice Cream Social on Tuesday, August 9 at the Plummer House.
This is a benefit for the Rochester Public Library with the proceeds from this event to be used in the Children's section, specifically to purchase a Little Tykes Computer. Help us attain this goal. 

We are pleased to announce that Elissa Elliott, local author of Eve and  a contributing writer for  Books and Culture will be speaking at this event. She will speak from noon to 1pm.

There will be icecream, rootbeer (1990) and assorted biscuits to beat the heat!

This should be a lovely social event - plan to meet your friends!

We will also have books for sale (especially cookbooks and tradesize paperbacks), silent auction items and bucket raffles. More details will follow, so watch this space!
The cost is $25 per person, and space is limited to 40 people. Please respond by 5 August.

Cool Reads for Hot Days - Save the Date

The Rochester Public Library Friends and Foundation are holding a summer fun"d"-raising event.
Join us at the Plummer House for a literary ice cream social event.
Tuesday, August 9
11:00 am- 1:30 pm
$25.00 in advance $30.00 after August 5.  

August has few literary events associated with it so we decided to create our own. A local author, Elissa Elliott, will be discussing some of her creative writing and publications. In addition, there will be books for sale from the Friends Bookstore as well as silent auctions and prizes.

You may register online or by mail to secure your spot.
Space is limited to the first 40 people who register.
