October has been an eventful time at AKSPL! There have been many staffing changes. It was sad to say good-bye to long-time staff. But it has been exciting to see new staff come onboard!
It is spooky season here at the Library and two displays were created to help staff and the public get into the Halloween spirit. Fun facts about Halloween were also included.
AKSPL continues its musical events with the Smiley LIVE! Series. This past Saturday, October 25, blues performer Dylan Olds rocked the Contemporary Club. He showcased his passion for the blues music genre, and took questions afterwards. On Wednesday, October 29, at 6:30 p.m. musician Bobby Dietsch will be introducing people to the world of accordion music. There will also be a question-and-answer session with him. Both programs are free and open to the community.
AKSPL is celebrating Dia de Los Muertos on Saturday, November 1, from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at Smiley Park and the Contemporary Club. There will be free food (while supplies last), live music/performances, and a Catrina/Calavera costume contest for kids ages 4-12. At the Contemporary Club, ofrendas will be available to view from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (call us soon if you’d like to create one to display), and there will be an art talk from artist Nancy Nieto. This event is free and open to the public. It promises to be a fun time for all!
Stay tuned for more updates from AKSPL next month ~
