Proceeds from this fundraising event will be funneled back into adult programming at the library. Our recent survey indicates the public would like to see more educational opportunities for adults in our community. The funds will be able to bring in guest speakers, cultural performers and more in 2017. Currently we have tickets available for the Sean McCann concert in February.
Below are some examples of recent successful programs.
