A Night in the Stacks: An Unforgettable Evening with a Community Impact

A Night in the Stacks

By Lisa L., Foundation Director

Something extraordinary is happening at the library after hours—and you’re invited.

On Friday, May 29 from 7–10 PM, the Noblesville Library will transform into a vibrant, after-hours celebration for A Night in the Stacks, the signature fundraising event benefiting the Hamilton East Public Library Foundation and library programming.

This isn’t your typical night at the library.

A Library Like You’ve Never Seen Before

Imagine stepping into the library and discovering a lively, carnival-like atmosphere designed just for adults 21 and over. With your ticket (just $50, including a drink), you’ll have the freedom to explore the space in a completely new way—full of energy, creativity, and fun.

From laser tag and arcade games to book speed dating, crafts, trivia, and even a silent disco, the library will be buzzing with unexpected experiences around every corner. It’s a night designed to surprise, delight, and reimagine what a library can be.

Even better, the evening serves as the official kickoff to the Summer Reading Program—a beloved community tradition that inspires readers of all ages.

More Than a Party—A Purpose

While A Night in the Stacks promises an unforgettable experience, its impact goes far beyond one evening.

Every ticket purchased, every sponsorship secured, and every donation made helps fund library programs that:

  • Foster a lifelong love of reading
  • Support early literacy and lifelong learning
  • Expand access to resources for individuals and families across our community

 

These are the programs that open doors—for children discovering books for the first time, for adults building new skills, and for families finding connection through shared learning.

A New Foundation, A Lasting Legacy

This year’s event is especially meaningful as it supports the Hamilton East Public Library Foundation, a newly established organization dedicated to strengthening and sustaining the library’s future.

Though the Foundation is less than a year old, it was created with a bold vision: to ensure that our library continues to grow, innovate, and meet the evolving needs of our community for generations to come.

By supporting A Night in the Stacks, you’re not just attending an event—you’re investing in that future from the very beginning.
