Enjoy a free outdoor concert tonight at the library! The featured band will be My Sweet Patootie, a vintage style acoustic swing band. They are lots of fun! Bring lawn chairs or blankets, friends, and family and enjoy the evening!
Before enjoying the concert, help us welcome back our Point Place Frog – Handsome Prints! Our Point Place Frog is back on his pad at the entrance to Kleis Park (next to Fire Station 24 on Summit Street). He was vandalized last year but has been repaired and is as good as new. We will be welcoming him back officially, telling his story and thanking those who helped get him back where he belongs. So come down early and help us welcome our frog back.
