Giant Desk Concert!

You've heard of the Tiny Desk Concert... now come to our Giant Desk Concert! Join us for an unforgettable evening dedicated to supporting The Urbana Free Library.

We'll say goodbye to our current circulation area and celebrate the upgrades coming to our space this fall. Plus, we'll honor long-time donor and Foundation partner Ann Harden for her many contributions to the Library, including the highly anticipated new Welcome Desk in honor of Ann & Kermit Harden. This special donor appreciation event will feature live music from Crimson Calamity and Carl Johnson & the New Orleans Jazz Machine, an exciting silent auction, a raffle, and light refreshments as we come together to make a difference. 

Mingle with fellow supporters, bid on exclusive auction items, and enjoy an evening filled with community, generosity, and entertainment. Every dollar raised will directly contribute to supporting The Urbana Free Library.

📅 Date: June 22, 2025
📍 Location: The Urbana Free Library
⏰ Time: 6 pm - 8 pm CDT
