The Friends of the Oceanside Public Library, with the support of the Library and local businesses and community groups, will once again host a lovely English Afternoon Tea on the Plaza alongside the famed Civic Center fountain on Sunday, October 2, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Guests will enjoy an afternoon of socializing, a hat contest, delicious food, entertainment, an auction, and opportunity drawings.

The cost is $35 per person and tickets can be purchased individually, or take advantage of a group discount to purchase and host a whole table (8 guests) for $250. Ticket purchases can be made with a check or cash at the Civic Center Library Administration Offices, or pay with credit at 2016afternoontea.eventbrite.com.

The Friends of the Oceanside Public Library is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and all-volunteer organization. All proceeds from the Tea, as well as all other fundraising efforts made by the Friends, support Oceanside Public Library programs and resources.
