Our Centennial Celebration

16 October 2025 | 6:00 p.m. | 100 W. Dover St.

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating a cornerstone of our community — the Talbot County Free Library. Inspired by our roots in the 1920s, this special event will feature live music, exceptional food and drinks, and a VIP reception for sponsors — all in the company of friends, neighbors, and fellow library supporters.

Wine and dine like it's 1925 with upscale hors d'oeuvres by Royal Oak Catering, a specialty cocktail crafted by Lyon Rum, and wine and beer from Wishing Well Liquors - all while enjoying the jazz age charm of the Julie Parsons Duo.

By joining us, you’re not just attending a great evening — you’re investing in the future of our community. Your support directly funds the library’s innovative programs, essential services, and welcoming spaces that inspire learning, creativity, and connection for all ages.
