FAQs 

How do I get invited?
Everyone in the Chattahoochee Valley is invited to Novel Nights! 
 
What happens at the event? 
Every Novel Night is unique. Some hosts start with cocktails and then serve a full meal. Others feature buffet-style meals. Sometimes hosts opt to keep the entire party heavy hors d'oeuvres in lieu of a sit-down meal. Look for meal information when you are selecting your dinner choices from the dinner party line-up. Some hosts provide entertainment or other special treats that are novel-related. Some are intimate adult-only events and others will be kid-friendly. 

Do I have to dress up? 
You don’t. But most events encourage themed or period-dress. Your host will send information to all guests about appropriate dress.

The event I want to attend doesn’t list an address. How do I know where to go? 
An email will be sent to all guests with the address and any additional information. We want to protect the private homeowners by not listing it on the public page.

How do I host a Novel Night in support of my public library? 
We would love to have you host next year. Reach out to Laura Ann Mann at mclibraryfoundation@gmail.com or 706-243-2705.
