One Man, 1700 Libraries, One Night at the Sebastiani

Description

One man's fortune. Nearly 1,700 libraries. One right here on the Plaza. Andrew Carnegie made a bet that free access to books could change the course of a person's life — and then he backed it with nearly 1,700 libraries across the country. Sonoma's own Carnegie library, right on our historic Plaza, was part of that bet. Free for All: The Public Library tells the story of how that idea took hold in America, and why it still matters. Join the Sonoma League for Historic Preservation for a special screening at the Sebastiani Theatre — popcorn's on us, wine's at the bar, and every ticket supports the preservation work that keeps Sonoma's history standing.
