A special celebration in honor of the 20th Anniversary of the Plaza Branch's current location, which officially opened on April 16, 2005. Over the last two decades, the Plaza Branch has served as a cornerstone of connection, learning, and community.
To mark this meaningful milestone, we hope you’ll join us for an event that celebrates 20 Years of Stories & Community. Joel Jones, Deputy Director of Library Services, who served as the Branch Manager when the Plaza location first opened in 2005. Joel will share his reflections on the early days of the building and its evolution over the years. In addition, we’re delighted to have remarks from our CEO, Abby Yellman, as we reflect on the past and look forward to what’s ahead for the Plaza Branch and our library system as a whole.
This is more than just a building anniversary—it’s a celebration of the people, programs, partnerships, and possibilities that have shaped the last 20 years. We truly hope you can join us for this meaningful moment.
Light refreshments will be served.
