Outdoor Spaces, Amazing Places!

The sun is shining and we’re ready to enjoy being outside! In anticipation of the June 6 House & Garden Tour, we’ve planned a virtual library event, to be held on Thursday, May 20 at 7pm, featuring interesting information about this year’s tour sites, former residents at the locations, and architectural features of the homes on the properties.

If you are interested in participating, Register Here!

We are grateful to local architect Amy Lauerhass and the library’s historian, David Distelhorst, for their efforts in making this presentation possible!
