Last Friday night, over 400 community members and library supporters transformed Chocolate and Wine Tasting into $12,000 for books and other library resources.  Thanks to the Friends of the Monterey Public Library and volunteers; to all the local wineries, grocers, restaurants, bakeries, candy makers, and local bakers for all the wonderful goodies; to the artists, businesses, and services  who donated items to our silent auction; to The Monterey County Herald  for the great publicity, and to everyone who made this event successful.
