IMBIBE at the Library
Books, free drinks, snacks, and outer space? This event immediately caught my eye! This Friday, the Marina Branch of the San Francisco Public Library is combining some of my favorite activities into one evening that can’t be missed! IMBIBE is an after-hours library cocktail party where guests enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks while they peruse the stacks of books. This party is space-themed, including a photo booth, moon walking, and giveaways of Packing for Mars, a new book by Mary Roach, who will be there to chat, sign books, and join the party. If skies permit, the San Francisco Amateur Astronomers will have telescopes set up outside to enjoy the night sky!
So raise a glass to the stars and join:
