Join us on a bus trip on Tuesday, June 2!

The Friends of Bethlehem Public Library are sponsoring a special trip to the Munson Museum of Art in Utica Tuesday, June 2 featuring a guided tour, dinner and talk with bestselling author Patrick Bringley. We’ll have 40 spots on the bus!

The bus will leave from CDTA’s Delaware Avenue park-and-ride lot in Elsmere next to Warbler’s Brewery at 2pm. A docent-led tour of the museum will take place from 4-5pm followed by a buffet dinner at Ancora Restaurant. (Please contact the restaurant directly if you have special dietary needs.) Attendees will then return to the museum at 7pm to hear about Bringley’s book “All the Beauty in the World” and his experience working as a guard at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The cost is $80 for Friends of Bethlehem Public Library members and $85 for nonmembers, and includes transportation, dinner, ticket to the author talk and all tips.

Please head to the library to pick up a form to send with your check to reserve your spot today!
