We're thrilled to announce that tickets are now on sale for our first fundraising event celebrating 70 years of storytelling. Please join us to be in the presence of friends who delight in books and share our belief in the power and joy of reading in this community.

We are delighted to honor Joan Baez who will recount her memories of playing in the stacks at Kepler’s in the 1950s and 1960s when the store was steeped in the American counterculture, as well as her love of books and music. The program will also include talks from long time supporters of Kepler’s, including Shelf Aware author V.R. Ferose whom we have worked with closely in his capacity as Head of SAP Academy for Engineering.

Wine, hors-d'œuvres, and desserts will be served at the reception preceding and following the event.

Tickets are $200 each and come with a signed copy of “Am I Pretty When I Fly?” by Joan Baez.

By attending the event you’ll be making a direct contribution to the literary programs produced by Kepler's Literary Foundation. The fair market value for this ticket is $70; the remaining amount is tax-deductible.
