The Norfolk Library will continue celebrating its Library Associates’ 50th year with a Golden Jubilee cocktail party and auction under a tent at the library, Friday, Aug. 23, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres, signature cocktails and wine will be served.
An auctioneer will take the stage for a live auction. Up for the bidding are getaways to Prince Edward Island, Great Exuma in the Bahamas, Coastal Maine, Ireland and Provence. Funds raised support the Norfolk Library’s many free cultural events.
Tickets are $35 at the door.
