OLD LYME—Calling all book lovers, partygoers, and library supporters — the former Bookworm Ball is back under a new name as The Bookworm Bash … and it’s going to be the literary event of the season! On Saturday, May 17, from 7 to 11 p.m., the Old Lyme-Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library will be transformed into a lively celebration of stories, style, and community.
Enjoy delicious fare from Hospitality Architecture, featuring a Mediterranean station, charcuterie galore along with dips and bites, and wonderful desserts. Pair your plate with a drink from the cash bar, offering beer, wine, and two signature cocktails crafted just for the occasion.
Snap great memories at the green screen photo booth with custom Bookworm Bash backgrounds. Whether you channel your inner Jane Austen, Harry Potter, or just break out your favorite party outfit—literary-themed or not—your look will be sure to shine!
Music in Motion will keep the energy high and the dance floor full, playing terrific tunes during the whole event.
The silent auction is stacked with getaways and one-of-a-kind experiences, including:
- A tropical vacation package
- A NYC weekend escape
- A Connecticut River Cocktail Cruise
- A private nature photography class
- Native pollinator plants from Judges Farm
- Art, books, curated baskets, and more!
Try your luck with Read Between the Wines, a mystery wine grab that’s full of surprises — will you uncork a hidden gem?
