The Hamilton East Public Library is inviting adults to experience the library like never before at its first-ever “A Night in the Stacks,” an exclusive after-hours event launching this year’s Summer Reading Program, “Color Our World.”

Set for Friday, May 30, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Noblesville Library, the 21-and-over event promises an evening of music, games, drinks, and creativity. Attendees will have access to a wide array of activities throughout the library, including a silent disco, trivia with prizes, laser tag, book speed dating, video and arcade games, crafts, a bounce house, and more. Board games will also be available, courtesy of local group Who’s Yer Gamers.

Tickets are $20 and must be purchased in advance through the library’s website. No tickets will be sold at the door. The first 50 guests to arrive will receive a special swag bag.

Food from Hot Box Pizza and drinks, including beer and wine, will be available for purchase. Guests can also browse special after-hours offerings at the Friends of the Library Bookstore and pre-register for the Summer Reading Program.

“We wanted to create something fresh and engaging that invites adults into the library in a fun, dynamic way,” said Amber Wright, Director of Public Services. “‘A Night in the Stacks’ is the perfect way to kick off our ‘Color Our World’ summer reading program, which is all about celebrating imagination, community, and the joy of reading.”

The event is hosted in partnership with the newly launched HEPL Foundation. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit hamiltoneastpl.org.
