The Friends of Fredricksen will hold Donation Station on the first Saturday of each month to accept donations of books and media for their Book & Media Sales.

7 pm Community Room  
Learn about the Camino de Santiago, a network of routes taken by pilgrims for the past eleven centuries to arrive at Santiago de Compostella in Galicia, Spain. Enjoy learning about how to walk the way, what you might see, experience, and learn about. Nothing can prepare you for the way as most of the journey is experienced within.

7 pm Miller Family Courtyard/Walnut Street (inside if inclement weather) 
Join us on Fredricksen’s lawn all summer as we welcome talented performers for an evening of music and song. We will kick off summer with our annual concert with Trinidad & Tobago Baltimore Steel Orchestra as they bring a touch of the Caribbean to the library. This stunning group, named Baltimore's official steel drum band, are masters of the steel drum. Their vivacious tropical music rounds out a lively show for all ages!

Concerts are held on the west lawn next to the lower parking lot. No registration necessary. Sponsored by McCormick Family Foundation.
