Library After Dark
Thanks to our sponsors and friends for supporting Library After Dark 2017.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the 4th Annual Library After Dark on April 14, 2018.
Our 3rd Annual Library After Dark awards ceremony and fundraiser was held on Saturday, April 8 from 7:30-10:00 p.m. at the Rockville Memorial Library. In honor of our 35th Anniversary we celebrated how FOLMC has helped Libraries Open Doors.
For 35 years, FOLMC has played an essential role in our libraries’ ability to serve our increasingly diverse population. On April 8, during National Library Week, we recognized the library staff, volunteers, donors, and community leaders who make Montgomery County Public Libraries an outstanding, nationally-recognized system.
Congratulations to our distinguished awardees
