Exciting Centennial Fun for All Ages

We have two great centennial programs coming up over the next week. On Sunday, October 18 at 2:00 we will be hosting a special showing of Meet Me in St. Louis, the classic 1944 musical, released just three years after the library moved to its current location. And then on October 22 at 4:15 we will be having a book discussion just for kids on the book At Ellis Island, by Louise Peacock. All of the events leading up to our birthday bash on January 10 can be found on our centennial site.
