The Library Foundation is celebrating National Dog month with two of our favorite doggos of very different dispositions, Rose and Sam! We expect to be pawsitively howling with laughter when Sam's human Drew Daywalt shares tales (tails?) of Sam inspiring his book "They Call Me NO SAM!" October 4th at our Literacy Luncheon.

Calling all Celtic music enthusiasts! Join us for a Celtic Jam for musicians of all levels. 🎶
