Summer Performances

During the summer, special performers entertain audiences. Performances take place as part of the library’s year-round Storytime (for ages 3 and up) and Family Night (for all ages) programs. A complete schedule appears below. Note   that, because of large crowds, we offer    two performances on some Tuesdays.   No registration is required for individuals    to attend these performances. School       groups must call in advance at     770-253-3625, ext. 216. PLEASE, NO   STROLLERS OR BABY CARRIERS.
