The Kids’ Action Club is holding a silent art auction that will close at 7:30 p.m. Club members will also be selling donuts to raise money for Just Food.
The library celebrated what would be later be named an award-winning renovation with a grand opening on July 26, 2014.
In a nod to the 2014 grand opening party, where attendees watched the original “Ghostbusters,” the library will be showing “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” starting at 9 p.m.-ish on the library lawn, according to the event page. The library encourages folks to bring picnic blankets or camping chairs for the screening, and there will be free popcorn.
The celebration is free to attend, and all are welcome.
