To the Editor:

It’s time to get all jazzed up for your library!

The Guilderland Library Foundation is hosting a fun-filled event that celebrates the 60th anniversary of the founding of our cherished library and the 25th year of our building.

The celebration will be held at the library the evening of Thursday, Oct. 26. The party lasts from 6:30 to 9 p.m., and it will be a very special, Gatsby-themed cocktail reception.  You’re encouraged to sport your Roaring ’20s attire and enjoy the jazz atmosphere provided by the Skip Parsons Marmalade Quartet.

This is a wonderful opportunity to come to the library; meet your neighbors, friends, and local community officials; and support the fundraising efforts of the library foundation.

The foundation’s mission is to help support special library events and programs that are not funded by your tax dollars. Recent events include author talks by Pulitzer Prize winner David Oshinsky as well as Mets star and sports broadcaster Ron Darling.

This promises to be a grand celebration, and I do hope you’ll join us! To purchase your tickets, please go to bit.ly/JazzyGPL.  Your support is vital to keeping our library the center of our community.
