Wood County District Public Library Foundation to host annual Novel Night Benefit

Novel Night in 2025 at the Veterans Memorial Building in Bowling Green City Park

From WOOD COUNTY DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Wood County District Public Library’s annual Novel Night Benefit, hosted by the WCDPL Foundation, will be held on Thursday, July 16, from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Building in Bowling Green City Park. Funds raised during Novel Night go toward the purchase of new books and other materials to educate, inspire, and entertain the community.

Novel Night is an opportunity for sponsors and donors to gather together for a fun evening while raising money for the library. Appetizers will start the night alongside silent auction items up for bid. The evening will then move to a live auction, featuring items and experiences.

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased for $100 by cash or check at the first floor checkout desk at the Bowling Green library or online at wcdpl.org/novel-night.

People who may want to support Novel Night financially rather than attend the event can become sponsors. Major sponsors of $1,000 or more are recognized on a plaque inside the library and on the WCDPL website. The library is appreciative of gifts of any amount. People can donate or sponsor Novel Night by visiting wcdpl.org/novel-night.

The WCDPL Foundation’s annual benefit began in 2009 at Schedel Arboretum and Gardens to help with the increasing need for funds to purchase new library materials.
