Barbecue
It’s June, which means that it’s almost time for our famous annual chicken barbecue fundraiser on Friday, June 16 with servings at 5 and 6 p.m. This highly anticipated event offers library trustees and volunteers the opportunity to play Top Chef for you all. (We’ll also be breaking out the library’s chicken costume for the occasion.) We’ve already had a ton of people in at the library asking for tickets, which will be available starting this week. Every ticket gets you a dinner which includes a half chicken, baked potato, coleslaw, roll, drink and brownie. There’s also a vegetarian option available for pre-order, if you prefer. Once you’ve got your dinner, you can either take it home with you or spread out on the lawn in Orsini Park with your friends and neighbors and listen to the always enjoyable Traditional Strings. If you’d like to help us prep the food or serve the meals, we can always use an extra set of hands, so give a call to 429-8354 or send an email to .
Patio ribbon cutting
We've recently finished construction of the Spohr Family Centennial Patio on the track side of the building. This new outdoor space will be a place where folks will be able to sit and read or plug into their laptops and work, or talk with friends without worrying about getting shushed. The patio is named in honor of the many contributions that Tom and Pat Spohr have made to our community over the years. We're still waiting on some outdoor furniture and signs, but everything should be in place for the official ribbon cutting on Friday, June 23 at 11 a.m. All are invited to join us for the grand opening. We are tremendously grateful to Senator George Amedore and the loved ones of Tom Spohr for their contributions to this exciting new library space.
