Events
Each year we host or co-host a number of events that raise awareness and funds for the Library and its Wish List. These include:
A Tour of Italy Event – Wine and Cheese with raffle prizes. Tickets are required to attend and most items are donated, including the wine, cheese & raffle prizes. Held in February, it’s a popular social event that offers an opportunity to talk about the latest happenings at the Library and we raise money as well!
Legacy of Learning – This annual summer event honors an individual who has made a positive life-long impact on Edgartown, learning, and the Library. Feted at a luscious brunch, past honorees are: Edo Potter, Ted Morgan and . An essay contest is another important component of this event, involving the students of the Edgartown School.
