Mariah Smitala, Committee Chairperson, A Night at the Library
We really ROCKED our 16th annual A Night at the Library Fundraiser on Saturday, October 18, with over 100 guests in attendance for the rock and roll-themed mingle murder mystery, SLAYED: Secrets, Death, & Rock 'n' Roll.
From the energetic live music of Moth the Band to the engaging staff-written script and powerful scenes created by the volunteer actors, Hedberg Public Library became Main St. Stage--where legends are born--for one night only! Photos from the memorable evening of music, murder, and mystery paired with food and drinks among the stacks can be found on our Facebook page.

Thanks to the hard work of library staff, generous support from sponsors, and enthusiasm from our guests, this event raised over $8,000 for the Hedberg Public Library Foundation, which provides additional funding for library materials and programs. The Foundation is currently raising money for a new HPL Bookmobile.
