    The Friends of Southwest Branch Library will hold their annual meeting immediately following the Artists’ Reception at the branch. The reception ends at 3 pm. This is the meeting where we make very general plans for next year, so if you have an idea, do come and share it. Even better if you’re wiling to help make it happen!

Sorry, comment time is over.
