First Friday: Naked Truth
Sit back, enjoy a glass of wine and watch as the Library is transformed into a venue for real people telling real-life stories, raw and without notes. Our amazing line-up of talented storytellers will have carte blanche to choose their favorite, go-to, killer stories—no constraints of a theme!  Some of your favorite storytellers will be back to share some of their favorite stories, including Matteson Perry, Doug Cordell, & Josh Healey.

What is First Friday?
Debuting in January 2011 in celebration of the Library’s centennial year, the ongoing “First Fridays” and “After Hours” series presents different narratives, ideas and presentations that an audience might otherwise not consider or experience. After Hours is for adults and high school students.

The Venue:
The Library’s Main Reading Room is transformed into a beautiful venue for After Hours events. Built in 1966, the Library is nestled among the redwoods in an award-winning building and reflects the diverse intellectual interests of the community.

The Experience:
Programs typically last 90 minutes (includes Q&A). After Hours features a wine reception before and after our program. Patrons enjoy the intimate atmosphere and ability to meet our presenters. Attendance ranges between 115 and 260 people per event.
