WHAT WE DO
We collaborate with library staff to host community events to encourage greater library use & advocacy. Planning and hosting the annual BOOKED FOR THE NIGHT party is a big part of what we do and how we raise money for Curtis Library. We encourage participation in and attend the monthly Books & Brews Book Club at Flight Deck Brewing (check out the 2026 book list and meeting dates here); we have a membership program; and we host pop-up events like the (BO)OKtoberfest Garden Party.

- Rotating exhibits, displays & pop-ups
- Two self-checkout machines
