The Wood County District Public Library’s annual Novel Night Benefit hosted by the WCDPL Foundation will be held July 18 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Building in Bowling Green City Park.
All funds raised during Novel Night go toward the purchase of new books and other materials to educate, inspire and entertain the community.
Novel Night is an opportunity for sponsors and donors to gather together for a fun evening while raising money for the library. Appetizers start the night alongside silent auction items up for bid. The evening then progresses with a live auction featuring items and experiences.
Auction items include a seven day, six night stay in a self-catered private home in South Africa; co-host the Morning Show with Clint Corpe; be a guest coach for the Bowling Green State University volleyball team; be a guest in the president’s ice box suite at the Slater Family Ice Arena at BGSU; and attend a cooking class for eight at BGSU’s Teaching Kitchen.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased for $100 by cash or check at the first floor checkout desk at the Bowling Green library. Tickets can also be purchased online at wcdpl.org/novel-night-tickets.
To support Novel Night financially rather than attend the event, become a sponsor.
Major sponsors of $1,000 or more are recognized on a plaque inside the library and on the WCDPL website at wcdpl.org/novel-night-2024-donors. Donate or sponsor Novel Night by visiting wcdpl.org/novel-night-secureform.
The WCDPL Foundation’s annual benefit begin in 2009 at Schedel Arboretum and Gardens to help with the increasing need for funds to purchase new library materials. This year, Novel Night is returning to the Veteran’s Memorial Building atrium with both silent and live auctions during the event.
