Expect the Unexpected…..@ the Library

Teens“I never thought the library would be at an event like THIS!” said one person who stopped by our CCLD teen library table at the recent scream music iMatter Festival in Elmira. We laughed and said that you must “expect the unexpected” from the library, especially with awesome teens involved!
