Celebrate the Great American Novel with a foodie twist at the Rock Island Public Library Foundation's annual Food for Thought Fundraiser, Thursday, Nov. 12 from 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm at the historic Rock Island Main Library, 401 19th Street.
The event playfully celebrates American Classic novels, reenvisioned with a food theme, allowing guests to dine on generous appetizers, entrees and desserts served by local chefs, sample craft beers and wines, listen to music by RiverCity6, bid on silent auction items, and enjoy shush free conversation amongst the Main Library book stacks. The Main Library will be open to Food for Thought guests only that night. Admission is by donation of $40 per person, which includes all food and beverage. Funds raised at the annual event support special book and literacy projects at Rock Island Public Libraries.
More details are included in the attached news release, along with samples of the parody "American Classic" book covers to be included at the event.
