Step out of the stacks and onto the dance floor. Or don’t, and instead explore the genre and title-themed spaces around our stunning hall while fully emersing yourself in the fantasy and wonder of our over-the-top, pre-event decor mania.

The Bibliophile’s Ball is a one-night-only costume party for lovers of the written word. Guests are invited to come dressed as their favorite book characters and wander through genre-inspired spaces throughout the hall, each styled to reflect different worlds, tropes, and vibes—from epic fantasy to dark romance to classic literary chaos.

This is a party-first event, with music, dancing, cocktails, and playful surprises throughout the night. Think less “quiet library,” more “forbidden chapter at midnight.”

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Genre/Title-Themed Spaces to explore, mingle, and take photos
A Bookish Scavenger Hunt woven throughout the evening & building
A Mostly-For-Fun Book Character Costume Contest (prepare yourself for unique prizes)
Food & Drink for Purchase
Dancing all night to a genre-spanning playlist of faves
COSTUMES ENCOURAGED (BUT NOT REQUIRED):

Come as your favorite:

Morally gray love interest
Villain with impeccable taste
Warrior, witch, librarian, rogue, fae, shadow daddy, or heroine
Or any character who lives rent-free in your head
BAR & LOUNGE:

Our cocktail lounge will be open throughout the event, serving classic, modern, and themed drinks. Non-alcoholic options will also be available.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW:

This is an 18+ event
Expect adult themes, flirtatious humor, and playful irreverence
This is a celebration of books, fandom, creativity, and community—not a formal ball (comfortable shoes encouraged)
