Bookworms and mystery enthusiasts, mark your calendars. Hedberg Public Library is rolling out the red carpet for its yearly mingle murder mystery event, "A Night at the Library: SLAYED: Secrets, Death, & Rock ‘n’ Roll" on Saturday, October 18 at 7 p.m. The evening promises to be an electrifying mix of appetizers, a cash bar, and live music. Though costumes aren’t mandatory, they’re certainly encouraged for those ready to channel their inner rockstar.

The event comes with a price tag of $40 per adult attendee, and it's a strict 18 and over affair. Interested parties can snag their tickets online using credit or debit, or if they prefer the tangible touch, tickets are available at the Information Desk within the library itself, accepting both cash and checks; this information was detailed in a recent press release. The night's proceedings are not just for thrill and spills; they serve a grander purpose, as all proceeds are set to enhance library programs and services.

In an act of community spirit, several local businesses have thrown their weight behind the event, ensuring that this year's mystery is as grand as it is generous. These sponsors include the likes of Rooster Roofing and American Power Inc., not to mention a collection of others from Hagen-CPA and Panda Garden to the bodacious Drafthouse, all chipping in to stitch the safety net for our treasured local library, according to the library’s press release.
