Story

This past year, Reading Public Library has learned the power of virtual programming to expand our reach and impact. Our 2021 Celebrity Bartender event will support new technology to enhance virtual programming to patrons both inside and outside of our walls. Your support will allow:

Famous children's book authors to visit us virtually

Family movie nights to move to parks & playgrounds throughout our community

STEM presenters to be streamed to neighborhood groups where access to a library is difficult

Supporting our Celebrity Bartenders will help us reach our goal and increase access to our library for patrons of all ages for years to come. While our actual event takes place on August 5 at Saucony Creek Franklin Station, contributions are encouraged in advance.

Visit each of our celebrity's pages and learn more about what draws them to support the library!

Thank you to our Celebrity Bartender Event Sponsors:

Saucony Creek, Franklin Station Brewpub for hosting and providing appetizers.
