One hundred years of community service calls for one extraordinary evening!

Step back in time to the decade when it all began, as the Martinsburg Public Library transforms into a Roaring Twenties Speakeasy, complete with a piano bar, dance hall, and back-room gambling parlor. Throw on your flapper dress, grab your fedora, and join us as we raise a glass to 100 years of library love in Martinsburg.

Your ticket includes a complimentary glass of champagne, one drink ticket, and heavy hors d'oeuvres by Brix 27. Enjoy Charleston dance lessons and live entertainment by the Ben Mauger Vintage 1920s Jazz Band, with Jordan Siwek at the piano taking requests and Tony M bringing the sounds of 1920s guitar jazz.

Come dressed to impress! Awards will be given for best attire! Feeling lucky? Try your hand at blackjack, craps, or roulette in our gaming parlor (play money only).

A centennial only comes around once, and we plan to celebrate in style. Join us for an unforgettable evening and help support your libraries for the next 100 years!

In 1925, a group of determined Martinsburg women raised $8,000 in just six months to establish a public library for their community. One hundred years later, the Martinsburg Public Library is still going strong, and the Friends of the Martinsburg Public Library are proud to carry that legacy forward.

Now you have the opportunity to be part of that story. By sponsoring the Centennial Celebration & Fundraiser on September 19th, you are showing your neighbors, your customers, and all of Berkeley County your commitment to learning, literacy, and access to knowledge in our community.

Sponsorships are available at a variety of levels, each named in the spirit of the Roaring Twenties evening we have planned. All sponsors will be recognized at the event and across FOMPL marketing and communications as per the Centennial Sponsorship Levels leading up to September 19th.
