The Jones Library is proud to announce that the
Fourth Annual Samuel Minot Jones Awards for Literary Achievement will honor
ARHS parent Cammie McGovern, author and founder of Whole Children, and Arthur
Kinney, founding director of the University of Massachusetts Center for
Interdisciplinary Renaissance Studies, for their literary contributions. The
gala event, the “Sammys”, will take place on Tuesday, May 2, 2017, at 6:00 p.m.
at the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College.
The Sammys is Amherst’s signature event honoring the
community’s remarkable and vibrant literary heritage. The evening will begin in
the beautiful Mead galleries with delicious, abundant hors d’oeuvres, beer, and
wine from local breweries/vineyards, a signature cocktail, and live music. The
awards ceremony will be held next door in comfortable Stirn Auditorium, where
the evening will end with dessert, coffee, and book signings by the honorees.
All proceeds from the Sammys will be used to support Library
collections, purchasing materials in all formats and for all ages. Tickets can
be purchased at the Jones Library or online at www.joneslibrary.org/sammys
