Bob Dylan, one of America's most beloved folk-rock icons, turns 83 on May 24, 2024. He is widely regarded as the greatest songwriter of all time and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016. In addition to his music career, he has pursued other interests, including painting, distilling, ironworking, and acting in several films.

The library is hosting an after-hours event on May 24th from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM to celebrate Dylan's birthday. Join us to sing and play your favorite Dylan tunes on the library's open mic/karaoke stage. There will be Bob Dylan Trivia Fun and Games and a 'Country Pie' buffet for refreshments. You can dress up as a character from one of Dylan's songs, create your unique costume to represent a song, or dress up as Dylan himself. There will be prizes for the best costumes, and party favors for everyone!
