Get your tickets for 21 & over after-hours fundraising event

The Hamilton East Public Library (HEPL) Foundation invites the community to experience the library like never before at “A Night in the Stacks,” an exclusive 21-and-over fundraising event supporting library programs, literacy initiatives, and the future of HEPL.

Taking place from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, May 29 at the Noblesville Library, this vibrant after-hours celebration transforms the library into an immersive evening of entertainment, creativity, and connection – all in support of expanding opportunities for the community through the library.

The event invites guests to explore the library after hours while enjoying a lively, carnival-inspired atmosphere featuring laser tag, arcade and video games, a silent disco, trivia, book speed dating, crafts, board games, and more. Food and drinks will also be available throughout the evening.

Tickets are $50 and include one complimentary drink. Advance purchase is required at hamiltoneastpl.org.

The evening also serves as the official kickoff to the library’s Summer Reading Program, celebrating imagination, storytelling, and lifelong learning while raising funds that directly benefit library services and programming.

“We look forward to welcoming adults 21+ to the library for an after-hours experience designed just for them,” Foundation Director Lisa Longo said. “Guests will have the opportunity to explore the library as never before, with adventure around every corner. Most importantly, every ticket helps support library programming that benefits our entire community. A Night in the Stacks is truly a party with a purpose.”

Established to strengthen and sustain the future of the library, the HEPL Foundation supports initiatives that foster literacy, lifelong learning, community connection, and equitable access to resources across Hamilton County.

The event is made possible through the generous support of community sponsors, including Nickloy, Albright, Gordon, & Seibe At Law LLC, Taylored Systems, Indiana Members Credit Union, Connico, and Church Church Hittle + Antrim.

With an expected crowd of 300 guests, “A Night in the Stacks” continues to grow as one of the community’s most unique and exciting fundraising experiences.
