The Thursday, Oct. 29 event is free, and will start at 7 p.m.

Registration is required and Zoom information will be sent to those who register. Those interested in the event are advised to register early as virtual attendance is limited.

While the event is free, donations are accepted. For a $20 donation or more, the donor will receive a Library mask.
