August 17 is Love Your Library Day
Everybody is invited to Love Your Library Day, a free one-day event at all 21 libraries across the city on Saturday, August 17. If you haven’t visited your local Library in a while, this is a great chance to drop by, see what’s new, get a free Library card, and take home some new reads. Enjoy tours, special family programs, storytimes, musical performances, prizes, and much more. See you at the Library!
