Heroes
This year's subject for the table decorating contest is your favorite literary hero. Choose your hero. Living or dead. Fictional or real. Human or otherwise. What hero makes your heart race with his or her accomplishments? What character from a book possess those qualities and attributes that you admire in a hero? What book had a hero that had such a memorable affect on you the you remember him or her vividly years later? Your options are a broad as the spectrum of books that fill the shelves of your local library.
The fun will begin as each table chooses a favorite hero. The tables can begin to be decorated at 4:30, on the day of the dinner. Check to see if your book has already been chosen by clicking on the tables link to the left.
The fun continues at 6:00 as the cocktails will begin to flow. Use this time to check out the silent auction items, and purchase 50/50 raffle tickets. Support your favorite table by purchasing tickets for the People's Choice Award and placing them into the container on the table.
Then dinner begins at 7:00 and this year's speaker will take the podium.

Libraries
Please help us help our libraries. They need the support of each and every one of us so they can continue to be a vital center for education, learning programs and the arts in our communities.
Proceeds from Off the Shelf will benefit the libraries in Washington and Greene Counties, most specifically the start-up monies for the creation of a Regional “One-Card” Network.
Our vision for the one-card system is to ensure that every resident may go to any library in our two-county region and use one library card.
In addition to increasing convenience and accessibility for our library customers, the one-card system will bring about cost savings and efficiencies that will benefit the entire region.
If you are not able to attend, please consider giving a much needed patron donation. Anything you can give will be appreciated!
