Enter Into Our Wonderland!

The Pioneer Library System Foundation was delighted to host the 4th Annual Mad Hatter Tea Party on Saturday, March 28, 2026, transforming the Shawnee Public Library into a whimsical Wonderland for an unforgettable evening.

Guests enjoyed delicious bites, creative cocktails and mocktails, enchanting entertainment, and playful surprises tucked around every corner. From imaginative hats in the Maddest Hat Contest to moments of creativity and connection throughout the night, it was a celebration filled with curiosity and charm.

Proceeds from the Mad Hatter Tea Party support programs and services at the Pioneer Library System’s Pottawatomie County branches in McLoud, Shawnee, and Tecumseh.

Proceeds from the event directly enhance library programs and resources for all ages. Funding helps expand early literacy outreach, STEAM programming, and the Summer Learning Challenge—broadening access and deepening the positive impact for children, teens, and adults across the county.

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and helped bring Wonderland to life.
