For the local (Boston area) readers... Please join me at a Benefit Night for the Friends of the Somerville Public Library at Flatbread Pizza (45 Day St., Somerville) on Tuesday, October 9, 2012 starting at 5 p.m.
A portion of the money from each pizza sold during the benefit will go directly to support programming and events at the three Somerville Library branches. Eat-in or take out. There will also be a small curated book sale and a wicked raffle. Prizes include;
- 2013 Burton snowboard
- $100 in LLBean gift certificates
- Framed print from Union Press
- One-year membership to the Friends of the Somerville Public Library and our 24oz canvas book bag (huge and indestructible, made in Charlestown, MA - you want this...).
- Pounds of coffee from Entimos and Magpie Coffee Roasters
- Skate deck from RAW
- Helmet from Ace Wheelworks
- Plus gift certificates to local favorites; Somerville Theatre, Posto, The Painted Burro, Picture Renewal, Ball Square Fine Wines, Tags Hardware, Somerville Grooves, Redbones, Porter Square Books, and even Flatbread itself!
Please come along and speak to current Friends of the Library board members (like me), and I could use your help as a volunteer for our upcoming book sale (Oct 26-28)?? Or simply enjoy some killer pizza, books and raffle prizes while supporting your library.
Huge thank you to our volunteers and the businesses and individuals that have donated to the raffle.
