Fitzhugh Brewing hosted a Books & Brews Spring Fling to benefit the Dripping Springs Community Library Saturday, March 22. The event featured local vendors, three children’s book readings by local authors, special food and drink offerings and live music, all in an effort to raise funds for the library’s planned expansion.
