Carbondale Public Library’s 150th Anniversary Dinner
Friday, May 10th, 5:30-9:30pm
This year, the Carbondale Public Library will be turning 150 years old! On May 9th, 1874, the “Young Men’s Library Association” opened to the public in a single room in the offices of the D&H Canal Company in Carbondale. It was only open one day a week -Saturdays – and offered a small collection of books for borrowing as well as providing educational lectures for the public.
To celebrate, the library will be hosting a special anniversary dinner on Friday, May 10th, 2024, AJ’s Bar & Grill, New Viaduct Pavilion, 92 Dundaff Street, Carbondale. Members of the library staff and board are working diligently to make this a fun-filled evening with speakers, a delicious buffet, and live music. Tickets are $50 per person. Please call the library to make your reservation.
There is also the opportunity to be featured in our program booklet. If anyone interested in being a sponsor for this event please contact the Carbondale Public Library.
