Upcoming events

The Readers Theatre group will once again perform at the library's Family Reading Night in November. This program is for kids ages 8 and up and is an introduction to theater performance. It involves few costumes or props, and lines are read rather than memorized. Rehearsals will begin in early November for a performance on the evening of Nov. 17. More information will follow.
