\"\"<\/a>Thank you for coming out to celebrate the Book Beat’s 30th anniversary party – it was a beautiful summer day and we all had a good time with music, authors and refreshments. We were really overwhelmed by the response and outpouring from the community. Thank you all! It’s good to know we are supported and will continue to be a home and shelter for the physical book. A display of the art by the \u00a0author, librarian Peter D. Sieruta is currently up in the backroom gallery.<\/p>\n

If you couldn’t make it to the party, we’ve posted some photos on our Face book page <\/a>(and below) to share some of the highlights that day.
