Library Stories
A man heading through the café at Main said to another…”This library has everything! Wi-Fi, art gallery, a massive amount of books and they even have kombucha.” 
"Thank you so much for bringing Nicolo Spera to perform at the Sunday Afternoon Concert. What a brilliant performance! It was truly one of the musical highlights of my entire life. We are lucky to have such a virtuoso in our community, and lucky as well to have you making such wonderful music available to the community. And free!" - Steve Grad
