Pouring Over Books
On Sunday, February 23, 2020, the Friends will host the 9th Annual Pouring Over Books fundraiser at The Prospect House in Dripping Springs. This event is our biggest fundraiser and will include musical entertainment, a local author reading, and book signing by Ben Rehder, wine and hors-d’oeuvres, as well as a silent auction.

About Ben Rehder
Ben Rehder’s love of the outdoors has influenced much of his writing, including his Blanco County comic mysteries revolving around a Texas game warden and a colorful cast of rural characters. Novels from that series have made best-of-the-year lists in Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, and Field & Stream. Buck Fever, the first in the series, was nominated for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel from the Mystery Writers of America.
Gone The Next, the first novel in Rehder’s Roy Ballard mystery series, was a finalist for the Shamus Award.
Rehder lives with his wife near Austin, where he was born and raised. Shake And Bake is his 20th novel.
