You're invited to the Link to Libraries Biennial Gala "Every Era Tells a Story: Help Us Write the Next Chapter." Join us for a special evening that celebrates our organization’s transformative impact in the community while raising vital funds to ensure children have access to the books and programming they deserve.
This year’s Gala, taking place on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at the iconic Basketball Hall of Fame, will feature a Swifty-themed evening inspired by Taylor Swift’s celebrated Eras Tour. Guests will enjoy an elegant night filled with cocktails, dinner, an exciting auction, and the opportunity to connect with others passionate about the power of reading to transform lives.
“Every child deserves access to books—both at school and at home—that spark their imagination and inspire a lifelong love of reading,” says Laurie Flynn, President and CEO of Link to Libraries. “The vast majority of books we distribute go to children who have never previously owned a book. With the support of our community, we can continue to deliver impactful programs and bring the joy of literacy to children who need it most.”
Why Attend?
All proceeds from the Gala go directly to Link to Libraries, a nonprofit committed to fostering literacy by providing books and programming for children in underserved communities. Every ticket sold helps create brighter futures—one book at a time. This Swifty-inspired event promises an unforgettable night filled with surprises, meaningful connections, and plenty of Eras-themed fun. Together, let’s write the next chapter for children who deserve a future filled with possibilities.
