The Hamilton East Public Library Foundation is inviting the community to experience the library in a whole new way later this month with an after-hours fundraising event designed exclusively for adults.

“A Night in the Stacks” is scheduled for Friday, May 29, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Hamilton East Public Library Noblesville Library. The 21-and-over event will raise money to support library programs, literacy initiatives, and future services offered through the library system.

Organizers say the event will transform the library into a carnival-style entertainment venue featuring laser tag, arcade and video games, a silent disco, trivia contests, book speed dating, crafts, board games, and other activities. Food and drinks will also be available throughout the evening.

Tickets are $50 and include one complimentary drink. Advance ticket purchases are required.

The event will also serve as the official kickoff for the library’s Summer Reading Program.

“We look forward to welcoming adults 21+ to the library for an after-hours experience designed just for them,” said Foundation Director Lisa Longo in a news release. “Guests will have the opportunity to explore the library as never before, with adventure around every corner. Most importantly, every ticket helps support library programming that benefits our entire community. A Night in the Stacks is truly a party with a purpose.”

The Hamilton East Public Library Foundation supports programs and initiatives focused on literacy, lifelong learning, and community access to resources throughout Hamilton County.

Sponsors for this year’s event include Nickloy, Albright, Gordon & Seibe At Law LLC, Taylored Systems, Indiana Members Credit Union, Connico, and Church Church Hittle + Antrim.

Library officials expect approximately 300 guests to attend the fundraiser.
