When the Bookworms Come to Party


While green library lamps may not be the most glamorous look for a fundraising gala, it's nice to see how the event organizers of the Chicago Public Library Foundation and the Chicago Public Library's Carl Sandburg Literary Awards Dinner stayed true to their theme; creating a tasteful and cost-efficient tablescape. Having party favors as part of the table decor is a great way to simplify behind-the-scenes planning, and is an instant conversation booster.


Table lamps are a fun way to create an old fashioned, kitschy look. Plus, with this room's massive size, the lamps help establish a more intimate atmosphere among the tables.
