Enjoy libations in the library! Come talk books, or just talk story at Mocktails & Talk Tales, a (somewhat) social club for the bookish.  Bring a friend, or come solo to meet like-minded library lovers for a zero-proof and zero-cost evening out. We’ll serve light refreshments and literary mocktails inspired by Tim Federle’s Tequila Mockingbird and Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margarita.
