Loco Gringos organize Labor Day fundraiser

Please note: The library will be closed Tuesday, Sept. 16th for Mexican Independence Day and will reopen on the 17th.

Special THANKS to library friends and loco gringos, Tom & Maggie Cochran, for organizing the Loco Gringo Labor Day party at Lol-Ha. This is the second year that Tom & Maggie have put this party together and they hope to make it an annual event.
