Please join us to celebrate the opening of the Isabel and Stanley Rubel Mystery Collection at the Pompano Beach Library & Cultural Center.
Special guest, mystery book review writer, Oline Cogdill, will share with us the importance of mysteries and their role in reflecting or dissecting societal norms.
Honored guests will include members of the Rubel Family, Broward Public Library Foundation members, dignitaries, and friends of the Rubel Family.
The event will include refreshments and mystery themed activities for all attendees.
The Broward Public Library Foundation has the pleasure of working with the family of the late Isabel & Stanley Rubel to create this endowment fund in their memory. Their three sons Howard, Matthew and Laurence recall their parents' love of mystery novels, which brought them into the Pompano Beach Library regularly. In the creation of the fund, Howard Rubel expressed how his parents “had great vision to see the possibilities of Pompano Beach” and that the family is “delighted to give back to a community that Isabel and Stanley joined over 65 years ago.”
The Isabel & Stanley Rubel Family Endowment Fund has been created through gifts from friends, family, and community members. Income generated by the endowment fund is being used to promote new and upcoming mystery authors. New books will be added to the Broward County Library collection and author talks will be hosted at the Pompano Beach Library.
To date, the fund has purchased over 30 volumes for the library. Plans are in place to add to the collection in 2024 and in the years ahead.
