CULLMAN, Ala. – The Friends of the Public Libraries of Cullman County held its first Books and Brews event at Goat Island Brewing Wednesday evening. The book sale featured a wide selection of books donated to the Cullman County libraries. The event was even more popular than expected, with all of the eight book tables surrounded by curious readers as soon as the event began. The book sale was created to reach a wider audience to spread awareness about the Cullman County Libraries and to raise funds for literacy projects done by the Friends.
Friends of the Public Libraries President Tanya Allcorn was excited by the good turn-out. She stated, “The Friends of the Public Libraries are so thankful to Goat Island Brewery for hosting a library fundraiser and increase awareness of our local library system. We are so grateful for all the community support in making our fundraising events a wonderful success.”
