Great night for Princeton library

Pam Wakefield of Princeton Public Library
    This past Friday night was a wonderful one for the library. Hundreds of library lovers joined together to support the Friends of the PrincetonPublic Library’s Annual Benefit.
   We started at Nassau PresbyteriAn Church where Anne-Marie Slaughter introduced Newsweek Editor EvanThomas, who gave a journalist’s insider view of the current politicalcampaign. The crowd then moved to the Library for fine dining among the stacks.
   Our benefit committee, led by Ellen Pitts, worked very hard and very successfully to organize an unforgettable event. We were fortunate to have the invaluable and enthusiastic support of both the library staff and the Friends Council. Generous merchants, local artists, craftspeople and library friends offered wonderful objects and opportunities at our Quintessentially Princeton Auction.
   It was the library’s annual Cinderella evening and for a few hours magic reigned throughout the Sands building. While the visible traces of glitter and celebration were gone by Saturday morning, the library was still glowing from the attention of an appreciative and supportive public. Thanks to all of you who helped.
