Celebrate The Big Read

Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its own ticket of admission.

I hope during the last month you've had an opportunity to get acquainted with Mr. Gatsby, but even if you haven't, do come to his party this Saturday, May 10, to celebrate the Delaware libraries and the culmination of The Big Read.

The event takes place at the main library building of the Delaware County District Library, 84 E. Winter St. in Delaware. The doors open at 7:00 p.m. We'll have music by the Toll House Jazz Band and food by All Occasions Catering. Instructors from the Fred Astaire Dance Studio will teach 1920's jazz steps to anyone who is interested. All within an atmosphere of a Long Island garden party, provided by Posh Event Services.

The event is sponsored in part by the Friends of the Delaware County District Library. At 7:30 p.m. the Friends will hold a short business meeting and kick-off the membership campaign for their new organization.

Please join us as we wrap up The Big Read with this festive evening of food, music, dancing.
