About

It all started when…

We are a group of volunteers who raise funds and provide support to the Aurora Free Library, a community treasure in Aurora, NY.

Since 2004, we’ve held an annual Aurora Book Lovers’ Ball. The ball has grown into a fun, fabulous evening - dinner, dancing to live music, and a silent auction featuring more than 200 items. The event is held each autumn in the Aurora, NY area. All proceeds benefit the library.

In recent years, our fundraising has helped the library with community program needs and capital projects, including creating a meeting space and game room in the basement, as well as repairs to the roof, front steps, and side door.

The 22nd annual Book Lovers Ball took place on October 11, 2026 at the Aurora Inn in Aurora, NY. Save the date for a great evening for a great cause!
