The Keyser-Mineral County Library Association is hosting a Book & Coffee Tasting! It’ll be on Tuesday, November 1^st, 2022, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. It will be at the pub side of Queen’s Point Coffee. The entry fee is a donation of your choice, and there are three door prizes. All three libraries will be closing early that day at 5pm so staff can prepare for the event.

We have a menu of book genres lined up for anyone who would like to participate, and participants can order a myriad of coffees and drinks from the wonderful Queen’s Point Coffee. The first course will be a genre mix to get everyone started, followed by several loved genres that you can sample. If you don’t have a library card, we’ll have those to be filled out, and books can be checked out from the event if you find one you can’t go home without.

All donations will go towards the match and help with the funding of Burlington, Fort Ashby, and Keyser Libraries. Every year, the Keyser-Mineral County Library Association is allocated state funding to assist in its operations, but, in order to receive this funding, we have to match it with local funding. We receive some of this amount from the City of Keyser, the Mineral County Commission, and the Mineral County Board of Education, but most of it comes from you, our communities. We stay open because of you.
