In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The “Speakeasy Night” promises a variety of activities designed to evoke the spirit of the era. Attendees are encouraged to embrace the theme by dressing in attire reminiscent of the 1920s, with suggestions including feathers and pearls. The event will feature casino-inspired games, a mini escape room, and a unique “human slot machine” for interactive entertainment. Adding to the ambiance, the Knock On Wood Marimba Band will provide live ragtime music throughout the evening. Guests will also have the opportunity to capture the moment with historical portraits taken using a genuine 1912 camera and explore displays showcasing local history from the Roaring Twenties period.
The primary purpose of this fundraising event is to generate support for the library’s vital services. Funds raised will directly contribute to maintaining free access to library resources for the community. Organizers emphasize that community support is particularly crucial at this time. Tickets for “Speakeasy Night” will become available for purchase on June 6th, 2026. Further details and updates regarding the event can be found on the library’s website, ahmfl.org.
