Lindsay McSweeney with the Friends of the Lakewood Ranch Library sat alongside librarians Fiorella Colacci and Hayley Rigatti to provide information to a very special group.
The Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance was hosting its Hob Nob BBQ on Oct. 30 at the library.
"Some people didn't know the library was here or have been in it," McSweeney said. "It's been a great opportunity to learn about the library."
It was one of the side benefits of the Hob Nob, which serves as a fun, but important, networking event.
Approximately 400 people attended the 35th annual Hob Nob, which LWRBA President and CEO Brittany Lamont said generates funds for hurricane relief.
The LWRBA took over the Hob Nob from the Bradenton Area Economic Development Corporation last year.
Approximately 20 businesses showcased their services during the western-themed event, which featured live music, food and drinks.
"We wanted to help people feel a sense of getting back to normal," Lamont said. "We wanted to come together while also supporting businesses that were impacted by the hurricane, especially on the island."
