"The world is so much more intriguing through a curtain of magic." ~ Erin Morgenstern

Beyond the enchantment lies a cause that touches the heart of our community. The Annual Gala is the Library’s largest fundraiser and is crucial to our mission of providing essential resources, services, and programs to all citizens. From early literacy programs and STEM resources to internet access and more, your contributions empower our community and impact the lives of every resident.
The Cirque de Magie is expected to attract a sold-out crowd of over 650 attendees. The event sells out quickly, so confirm your sponsorship or donation today.
"You're in the right place at the right time, and you care enough to do what
