Admittedly, the overcast skies above the Melton Terrace at the Kennett Library last Friday evening prevented the library’s second annual Starlight Soirée from showcasing the twinkling constellations to those who wanted to enjoy them.

Nonetheless, the library’s two floors proved to be entertaining enough for the more than 200 guests who attended. The event included a silent auction of unique experiences, live music and dancing with a special appearance by Kennett Symphony, food by Serock Catering, wine from Wayvine Winery & Vineyard, beer from Victory Brewing Company and makerspace activities.

The second annual Starlight Soirée was sponsored by presenting sponsor Union Street Financial lead sponsor Caroline Mange, silver sponsor Arthur Hall Insurance and bronze sponsors Chuck Peipher and Chadds Ford Complete Services. 

The event directly supports the library’s innovative programs and essential operations, ensuring that the Kennett Library remains a vibrant hub for learning, creativity, and community growth.
