Now in its fifth year, Whittier Public Library Foundation’s annual Booktoberfest is one of the most anticipated and well-attended City events, and for good reason: At Booktoberfest, bibliophilic beer aficionados and beginners alike spend a wonderful evening at Central Library that features live music, amazing raffle prizes, and of course excellent, expertly curated craft beers paired with delicious, gourmet food offerings—this year presented by Whittier’s own Auntie’s Bakery & Cafe!
