What’s happenin’ @ the library

Thanks to The Polka Dots for a lively set on Saturday, September 12th. Their self-proclaimed “new blue oldtimey jazzy gypsy swing” filled the library and had patrons swayin’ in their seats. Did you miss the fun? Catch them September 24-26 in Berryville at the Watermelon Park Festival. Or become a fan of the band on Facebook and you can watch video clips of their library performance.
