The Delray Beach Public Library recently held a celebration of its’ second anniversary in its’
new home @ 100 West Atlantic Avenue with “Laugh With the Library Chapter 2” event at the
Delray Beach Marriott. Guests were treated to sumptuous food, a variety of drinks and many
surprises. The Master of Ceremonies for the evening was radio and television
personality Tim Byrd and the crowd was first warmed up by Comedians Wil Shriner &
Shayla Rivera and then the amazing comedian Bobby Collins brought the house down.
Committee Chairpersons Becky Walsh & Heidi Sargeant created a wonderful evening for over
400 attendees. Ms. Walsh, Library Board Secretary and Ms. Sargeant, Library Board member are
community leaders, avid readers and great supporters of the Library. They worked tirelessly
to ensure that the many guests for the evening’s “Laugh With the Library Chapter 2” had a
wonderful time while dressed in casual attire. Many new friends were made and over $37,000 was
raised for the Delray Beach Public Library’s new endowment fund.
