Similar to the library’s Victorian Tea that was held in February, the Dicken’s Tea will be a sit-down affair.

It will feature three kinds of soup and bread, scones, chocolates, dessert and cookies, organizers say.

The tea is a fundraiser for the North Platte Public Library Foundation. The cost is $20 per person and seating is limited to 40 at each sitting, so seats are limited to the first ticket holders.

The tea will be held four times:

• Thursday, Dec. 6 at 5:30 p.m.

• Friday, Dec. 7 at noon and at 5:30 p.m.

• Saturday, Dec. 8 at noon.

Soups will be pumpkin, Tuscan potato and chicken noodle. Breads will be savory, wheat/oatmeal and white.

Plain and herb butters will be served. Plain and variety scones will be served with lemon curd and homemade jam.

A holiday variety of cookies and desserts will be served.
