<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">EveryLibrary is proud to <a href="https://www.bibliotheca.com/" target="_blank" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><strong><span style="text-decoration:none">partner
with Bibliotheca</span></strong></a> to bring an exciting fundraiser to ALA
Midwinter in Seattle on Saturday January 26th from 9pm-1am at <a href="https://flatstickpub.com/south-lake-union/" target="_blank" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><strong><span style="text-decoration:none">FlatStick Pub South Lake Union</span></strong></a>.
Built on the success of the sell-out fundraiser at ALA in New Orleans and the
fun we had throwing axes in Philadelphia during PLA, we are planning another
sell-out event with a lot of fun activities, free drinks, and networking
opportunities for attendees as well as special guests!<span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"" align="center"><strong>If we don't sell out, tickets
at the door will be $45 so get them here – <a href="http://action.everylibrary.org/alamw19">action.everylibrary.org/alamw19</a></strong><span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">The event will be held at Flatstick Pub South Lake Union. With the purchase
of a ticket, <strong>attendees will enjoy an open bar with beer, wine, and well
drinks and access to everything that Flatstick Pub has to offer.</strong>
Throughout the night we will also be giving away t-shirts, ribbons, bottle
openers, coupons for our newest book, “I Love My Library” stickers, and more.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">But, we’re really excited to announce that we’ll have <strong>Nancy Pearl
live and in-person</strong>. Plus, we’ll be selling her latest action figures
and her book and she will be there to sign any of your Nancy Pearl memorabilia
so don’t forget to bring whatever you already have!<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">Get your tickets here - <strong><a href="http://action.everylibrary.org/alamw19">action.everylibrary.org/alamw19</a></strong><span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">As part of EveryLibrary’s partnership with the <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/5252035/the-kitchen-sisters" target="_blank" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline"><strong><span style="text-decoration:none">Kitchen Sisters’ NPR broadcast
podcast</span></strong></a> entitled The Keepers, there will also be a <strong>live
taping of an NPR podcast</strong> at the event with confirmed guests to include
Nancy Pearl and possibly a few other library and literary luminaries.<br>
<br>
Finally, because EveryLibrary is an organization that supports libraries at the
ballot box and fights against library defunding measures through pro-bono
consulting, digital tools, on the ground training, and more, this fundraiser
will help EveryLibrary continue on it success throughout 2019.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">This venue is a casual beer focused pub featuring a unique and challenging
miniature golf course. They only offer beer from independent breweries located
in great state of Washington. In addition to mini golf you’ll find original
golf themed games invented by the good folks at Flatstick. These games include
Duffleboard™, Cup Hunter, and ‘stick putt!™ and you won’t find them anywhere
else.<span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman""><strong>If you can't make the event or aren't attending ALA in Seattle, you
can still help another librarian attend while supporting libraries with your
contribution with the <a href="https://action.everylibrary.org/alamw19" target="_blank" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">Gift a Ticket option!</a> We'll find someone to attend in your
place.</strong><span></span></p>
