Ales & Tales

Join us on the second Tuesday of each month at Rapp's Barren Brewing Company for an evening of literary enrichment at Ales & Tales. Each gathering features the reading of selected short stories or novel excerpts, offering a unique storytelling experience.

A portion of the evening's proceeds will benefit the Baxter County Library Foundation, helping to support vital Library programs and services.

We encourage guests to arrive by 5:00 PM to enjoy a meal and find a comfortable seat before the event begins.

Invite friends, enjoy a drink, and immerse yourself in the world of stories at Ales & Tales.
