August’s Open Book Club: Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper Club by J. Ryan Stradal
In this colorful, vanishing world of relish trays and brandy Old Fashioneds, J. Ryan Stradal has once again given us a story full of his signature honest, lovable yet fallible Midwestern characters as they grapple with love, loss, and marriage; what we hold onto and what we leave behind; and what our legacy will be when we are gone.
Owl Presentation with Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center on July 31
Naturalists from the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center are bringing some of their feathered friends to the Aalfs Downtown Library for a meet and greet to celebrate the finale of Adult Summer Reading. You will learn all about these owls and see them for yourself up close!
Teen After-Hours: Karaoke @ the Library on July 19
Belt out your favorite karaoke songs while the lyrics project on our big screen. Have other mind-blowing skills you want to share? It's also open mic night! Performing not your thing? Bring your squad and enjoy the show from the audience. The Jolly Time Popcorn Bar will complete this rocking after-hours experience.
Family Movie Fridays!
Come in from the heat to enjoy a free movie on the big screen. We'll provide the popcorn, courtesy of Jolly Time Popcorn. Feel free to bring your own beverage (must have a lid or resealable cap).
