The Theatre Level is getting a makeover!

In August and September, we will be renovating the Theatre Level to better serve you, our patrons! A redesign of the lobby and meeting rooms will mean more function and event space, as well as an updated look to the entire level.

During these months, this level will be inaccessible. Please call 444-7888 and the Arts Staff will assist you with meeting rooms, art gallery inquiries and the Library Theatre season information.

Tickets for the Library Theatre's 25th Season will go on sale in September! Please check our website, www.TheLibraryTheatre.com, for more details.
