Join us in the library’s courtyard this summer for our 12th annual concert series. Concerts will begin Friday, June 5 at noon and go through Friday, August 28 and are free! Join us for some of your favorite performers such as Kraig Kenning, Doc Schneider’s Rock and Roll Band, Harrison Bankhead and his Jazz Trio and David Dallison and the Downhome Sophisticates.

New this Summer: G-Cue Catering will be cooking lunch on site—pulled pork sandwiches, brats and hotdogs!
