The Jones Library is
proud to announce that the Fifth Annual Samuel Minot Jones Awards for Literary
Achievement will honor the Amherst Regional High School Theater Program, led by
John Bechtold and Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and author Madeleine Blais.
The gala event, the “Sammys”, will take place on Thursday, April 26, 2018, at
6:00 pm 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 coffee and a take-away chocolate confection.
All proceeds from the Sammys will be used to support Library
collections, purchasing materials in all formats and for all ages. For more
