From the Library:
Fifty years ago this Saturday the people of Allen County unwrapped one the best Christmas gifts ever: a new Main Library Building at 650 West Market Street. We’ve planned a wonderful anniversary party of this gift and you are invited to share in the festivities! Musical entertainment on the main floor, special guest story times in youth services, cake and punch, prize drawings, and much more will take place.
All fun, all free, all open to the public:
10 AM—2 PM—Cake, Punch & Coffee (Memorial Book Room)
10 AM—Celebrity Story Time with Lima Chief of Police Greg Garlock and Lima Senior Progressive Academy Students
11 AM—Celebrity Story Time with Lima Mayor David Berger and Sgt. First Class Robert Shattuck
11:30 AM—12:30 PM—Musical Variety Hour (Main Floor) · EZ & Company featuring Ed Zickafoos, Jim Boedicker & friends
12 Noon—Celebrity Story Time with Holly Geaman, Lima’s Hometown Stations and Debbie Buettner Youth Services Librarian
1 PM—Celebrity Story Time with · David Adam, 8th Ward Councilman, Professor, OSU Lima, Movie Critic; Steve Moser, Youth Services Librarian; Laura Betker, Lima’s Hometown Stations; and Jesse Lowe, 3rd Ward Councilman, President of Drugs Bring Death
1:30 PM—Christmas Carols: A serenade of Christmas Carols by Library employees and friends
Unlike some anniversary invitations you may receive, we are not saying, “No Gifts Please.” We’re actually rather hopeful for gifts and have attached our annual giving brochure for your consideration: Giving Form
We look forward to kicking off the holiday season with you and celebrating 50 year at 650!
