The 18th annual Book Lovers' Ball will return to in-person festivities and fundraising. The event begins at 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7 at the Aurora Inn in Aurora, NY.

All funds raised by this gala event support the operations of the Aurora Free Library.

The evening includes dinner prepared by the chefs of the Aurora Inn, paired with Finger Lakes wines and beers by Aurora Ale & Lager. A lavish silent auction boasts items for every taste and budget. You’ll move your feet, and your whole body, to the infectious sounds of the local dance band The Destination.

Tickets may be purchased online at this website, or by sending a check made payable to “Aurora Free Library” at PO Box 85, Aurora, NY 13026. If you would like to be seated with someone, please include that information with payment.
