Dear Friends,
Summer is in full swing, and I hope you’ve been enjoying the Music on the Steps summer concert series so far! Come out and celebrate 40 years of great music Mondays throughout the summer on the steps of Fredericksburg Branch, 6:30-7:30. Twangtown Paramours will bring their soulful music to Fredericksburg tonight, June 30 –“Nashville-based husband-and-wife duo Mike T. Lewis and MaryBeth Zamer…have made a name for themselves defying boundaries with their award-winning catalogue of Americana, Folk, and Blues anthems.” Due to the chance of storms, tonight's performance will be held in the Fredericksburg Branch theater.
To help concert-goers beat the heat, we are now selling cold sparkling water during the performances. Drinks are $2.00 per can, and all proceeds will be used to support the Friends' mission. If you would like to volunteer to be at the Friends of the Library table during a Music on the Steps concert, please let us know. It is a great way to share with folks what the Friends of the Library is and what we do.
