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
Book Speed Dating
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.

Thank You to Our Sponsors
A Night in the Stacks wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our sponsors, whose commitment to literacy and community makes this event—and the programs it supports—a reality.
We are proud to recognize and thank our current sponsors:
From sponsoring interactive experiences like the silent disco and laser tag to supporting the event at a leadership level, these organizations are helping bring creativity, access, and opportunity to our library in meaningful ways.
Interested in joining them? A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are still available offering a unique chance to align your organization with one of the community’s most exciting new events while directly supporting literacy initiatives.
More Than a Party—A Purpose
Silent Disco
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.
Be Part of Something Bigger

With an expected crowd of 300 guests, A Night in the Stacks is more than a celebration—it’s a moment to come together as a community and make a lasting impact.
Here’s how you can help:

- Sponsor – Showcase your commitment to literacy and community impact
