Hello Library Friends,

There will be a Culver’s Fundraiser benefitting Friends of the Library on Tuesday, October 7, 4-7 p.m. This date has special significance: 123 years ago, on October 7th, the library first opened its doors to the public—and that day was also a Tuesday.

You may help by having dinner at Culver’s during fundraising hours and/or encouraging your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors to do the same. We hope to see you there!
