“Mysterious” evening encourages community support for DeKalb libraries

The DeKalb Library Foundation will host “A Mysterious Evening” next month as a fundraiser for the county’s 22 branches.

The event runs from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. March 24 at the Decatur library and features mystery authors Grant Jerkins, William Rawlings, Patricia Sprinkle and Amanda Kyle Williams in a reception, book signing and silent auction.

Tickets are $65 in advance and $75 at the door. All proceeds benefit the county’s libraries, which receive just $100,000 in county funds for books and materials.
