Hey all,
Tonight is the night for our 4th annual pre-recorded concert, and the 3rd to be shown live at Ely's Historic State Theater! This year however, there is a twist! We have partnered with the NLAA to bring a hybrid holiday concert featuring a 50 minute pre-recorded video concert then after a brief intermission, a LIVE MUSIC set!

Getting in is as easy as a donation! Either a goodwill offering to go to the Ely Food Shelf and NLAA's Youth Scholarship, or a nonperishable food item to go to the Ely Food Shelf!

Doors open at 6 with the video presentation to begin at 7! We hope to see you for this wonderful event!

Do you have great photos of the library from the past ... particularly staff or interior shots? We'd love to have you share them with us for use in a mini-documentary that is being made for the library's 100th anniversary this year.

Just take a look at this great shot that includes 2 of the past head librarians - Lucille Carlson and Ruth Nankervis!
