On May 20, 2026, the Library celebrated its annual 1894 Day. The day was filled with crafts in the Children’s Library and a special treat from Shake Shack. Thank you to everyone who made the day a success and helped us reach our goal!
Today is 1894 Day, our annual day of giving. We'll honor our founding year and celebrate 132 years of learning, connection, and community. This year, our goal is to raise $200,000 in one day. Will you join?
