The Hanover Public Library is turning the Royal Canadian Legion into a mythical crime scene on June 19, 2026, with a Greek God-themed murder mystery fundraiser called A Murder Most Immortal. The evening, written and performed by library staff and volunteers, invites residents to step into a world of gods, secrets, and suspense while helping raise money for local library services.
Tickets are $50 per seat and include a catered meal by Osmow’s. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. at the Legion hall, located at 493 8th Ave. All proceeds go directly to supporting library programs that municipal and provincial funding doesn’t fully cover, such as storytime, youth services, and reading with therapy dogs.
“Join us at the Hanover Legion for a one-of-a-kind Greek God Murder Mystery Fundraiser in support of your local library,” the library said in a statement. Attendees will work through clues and twists crafted by library staff and volunteers, turning the Legion’s rental hall into an immersive evening of mythological intrigue.
Tickets are on sale now at two locations: the Hanover Public Library at 451 10th Avenue and Holst Office Supplies at 411 10th St. The library board, chaired by Brenda Booth, and CEO Carolyn Caskanette oversee the library’s operations and fundraising efforts like this event, which supplements public dollars with community support.
The fundraiser follows other successful library events, including the recent Love Your Library campaign that raised $6,225 during Ontario Public Library Week. With a population of about 8,000 people, Hanover depends on such initiatives to keep the library’s programs running. The Legion’s larger hall can accommodate up to 200 guests with tables, making it a fitting location for a town-wide night of mystery and giving back.
