This first annual mystery
dinner theater is being held to help build a long-term maintenance and equipment
fund for the aging library building, located on the corner of
This “house-turned-library”
which was willed by Dr. H. D. Britan more than sixty years ago, has had
annexations and many renovations over the years, with the help of several
civic-minded organizations and a few grants.
The public is now being
requested to help bring our library into the 21st century and beyond. Your
patronage for this special event is deeply appreciated, and there are other ways
to help, such as being a table sponsor for one of the evenings, or in the event
that you can’t attend, a simple donation of any dollar amount!

contributions, please contact Cathy Jenni at
