Come to the library Wednesday July 31st from 3:30-5:00pm to help us celebrate our end of summer party! All are welcome, even if you are new to post. A group from the O’Riada-McCarty-Manning Academy of Irish Dance will perform starting at 3:30 in DePuy Auditorium.

Then venture over to CARL for stories, treats, and TONS of prizes! Don’t forget to dress up for our Costume Contest and show us where you’d like to travel – whether it’s to another country, another world, into the future or back to the past.
