Summer Kickoff: Silent Disco – June 25 at 6:30pm (All ages)
Come kick off our summer season of special programs at this fun dance party! At a silent disco, you get to pick what music you listen to and, using wireless headphones, choose between three playlists and dance the night away! We’ll provide headphones that allow you to switch between the playlists. And you can cool off at the Friends of the Library’s “Chill Out” fundraiser: $5.00 ice cream sundaes being served 4-8 p.m. (or as long as supplies last) in the Garden Room!
