The Elizabeth Taber Library in Marion is pleased to announce its 2019 Fall Fundraiser Event: Tables of Content, repeating an event that was highly successful in its first rendition in 2018. On Friday, November 8 and Sunday, November 17, generous friends of the Elizabeth Taber Library will host literary-inspired dinners in their homes to raise money for the library’s programming and resource expansion.
Each dinner is based on a book the host selects. Your choice of book and date availability will determine where you go. Lively discussion of the book will be the evening’s focal point, in addition to meeting new friends and enjoying a delicious meal. Adding a bit of mystery to the event, the location and host are not revealed until a week before the event. You won’t know who else is coming to dinner until the night of the event. What fun!
Guests are asked to choose two books from the list, in order of preference. Assignments will be made to accommodate date and book choices to the best of our abilities.
Book list for Friday, November 8at 6:00 pm: The Elephant Whisperer– Lawrence Anthony; The Library Book– Susan Orlean; Quichotte– Salman Rushdie; Behold the Dreamers– Imbolo Mbue;The Testaments – Margaret Atwood
Book list for Sunday, November 17at 6:00 pm: The Moment of List– Melinda Gates; Beloved– Toni Morrison; Cooking for Picasso– Camille Aubray; The Nickel Boys– Colson Whitehead
