Halloween Costume Swap

Starting on October 1st, drop off your gently used, clean Halloween costumes to any Library branch. Then, on October 22nd, come pick out a new costume for this year!

This is a wonderful chance to save money, clear your closet, and pick out something snazzy for this year. Costumes for all ages and sizes are appreciated. We'll also be doing a kids' craft!

Launch Club - Expedition 46-47 TMA-19M Launch to the International Space Station

Join fellow space exploration enthusiasts to watch the next manned mission to the ISS. Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan will be early in the morning, so we'll play a replay. Then we'll watch LIVE coverage on the big screen of the docking of Soyuz TMA-19M that is bringing NASA astronaut Tim Kopra, ESA astronaut Tim Peake (British), and Yuri Malenchenko of Roscosmos to the ISS to begin Expedition 46. Sergey Volkov, Mikhail Korniyenko and Scott Kelly are to transfer from Expedition 45 as part of their year-long stay aboard the ISS. Enjoy light refreshments and share the excitement of another mission to humanity's home in low Earth orbit!

  • Docking coverage is scheduled to begin at 12:26pm
  • Hatch opening is scheduled for approximately 2:00pm
