This Saturday, come to the library for a Halloween concert featuring songs performed on the scariest, eeriest, most bone-chilling instrument of all...the ukulele?

Ok, maybe not the scariest. Not scary at all. In fact, the exact opposite.

You know what? Let's just start over:

This Saturday, October 24, at 6:30 p.m., our main lobby will host the Wild Blue Ukulele Orchestra, playing Halloween-themed songs in a concert that will be fun (not scary) for the whole family!

This event is part of the after-hours concert series in partnership with the Friends of the Library and 94.9 WDKB.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Retro Trick-or-Treat this past Saturday!

Ok, enough celebrating. We've only got 361 days left to plan next year's library trick-or-treat.

Should we stick with the retro theme again next year, or return to the International theme from years past? Or maybe you have a totally new theme in mind?

Let us know what you think in the comments!

Technology is constantly changing and these days it can be hard to keep up with the latest trends especially when confronted with a new word or an acronym you've never seen before.

With all the news in recent weeks about AI Agents and the Hugging Face cyber-attack, we thought we'd take a moment to break out the dictionary and make sure we're all on the same page when discussing AI, what it is, and what it's not.
