Authors Victoria Christopher Murray and Marie Benedict will share their experiences writing “The Personal Librarian” with the Battle Creek community. Join Willard Library at the Binda Performing Arts Center for our 18th Battle Creek Reads event! Marie Benedict will be joining virtually.
As we celebrate Juneteenth, Willard Library presents the “Sound of Freedom,” a celebration of African-American musicians who nurtured their art in Battle Creek and went on to change the world. The event will feature a mix of musical performances and conversations, moderated by Sonya Bernard-Hollins, author of ”Here I Stand.” This is a ticketed event. Tickets will be available to pick up at either library location beginning June 1, while supplies last.
Santa Claus is coming to Willard! Visit the library to take a picture with Santa Claus. Make sure you bring your Christmas list so Santa knows what you'd like for Christmas. While you are here, don't miss your chance to make some holiday themed crafts, or get cozy on the Lower Level and watch a movie. As an extra bonus, some of Santa's reindeer will be here to pet and enjoy. Tuesday, Dec. 5, 4-7 p.m. Downtown Library
