Mad Hatter Ball


Alice in Wonderland Family Fundraiser

Join Us October 4, 2025

Starr Library is going down the rabbit hole! On Saturday, October 4, 2025, at 6 p.m., we’re transforming the library into a magical Wonderland full of delightful surprises for all ages.

Bring the kids—and leave the babysitting to us—as you enjoy an unforgettable evening of community, celebration, and support for our beloved library.

All proceeds benefit Starr Library, helping to ensure we remain a vibrant community hub where people of all ages come to learn, connect, and grow.

Fun for Everyone

Youthful Amusements Downstairs
Kids ages 5 and up can enjoy games, crafts, a movie, pizza, and more on Starr’s lower level. Activities will be supervised by Rhinebeck High School volunteers.

Grown-Up Treats Upstairs
While the kids have fun downstairs, adults will enjoy cocktails, hearty hors d’oeuvres, live entertainment, an auction, a Mad Hat contest, and more on the main floor. You’re welcome to visit your children at any time, but please note the upstairs festivities are for grown-ups only.

Check back here for updates as the evening’s agenda comes together!
