Taste of Two Towns Returns to the Oakmont Library

This year's event is going to help pay for several features around the library.

"A Taste of Two Towns" is returning to the Oakmont Carnegie Library later this month.

On May 19, from 6 to 8:30 p.m., the library will be transformed into a buzzing bistro, featuring sample dishes from the top restaurants of Oakmont and Verona. The cost to attend is $50 per person.

Last year's inaugural event raised $10,000 for the library—40 percent of the $25,000 raised in 2012. Proceeds were used to repair plaster on the 1901 side of the library, update the phone system and Wi-Fi, deepen the library's travel and career collections, and expand the Youth Services position.
