Friends of the New Providence Memorial Library

 LIGHTS, CAMERA, MURDER!

The Friends are rolling out the red carpet for our annual fundraiser on

Saturday, November 16th from 6:00 - 9:00 pm 

This professionally produced, interactive murder mystery begins when a Hollywood mogul’s birthday bash goes very, very off script. Come dressed as your favorite silver screen icon (past or present) and enjoy wine, appetizers, and dessert. Silent auction gift baskets, a door prize, and an award for best costume will add to the fun!
