The Library will hold a community Mardi Gras Party on Sunday, January 27, 2013, from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.

Free beads will be available to get the party-goers into the celebratory mood. The party will begin with a performance by Mike Knauf’s Dixieland Jazz Cats, who will play Dixieland style music, in honor of the world-famous Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans. After the concert, several delicious New Orleans-style food dishes will be available for purchase.

There will be no admission charge, but party-goers are asked to call ahead to the Library Check Out Desk (at 630 834-1164 extension 5) to make reservations to help plan for food and refreshments.
