I have decided to add another weekly episode to my lineup that I will post each Thursday to present you with a look at the events and programming that are going to be going on at the Abilene Public Library for the following week. In addition to that, since public libraries are community centers for areas we serve, I decided to also give you a listing of events and activities that will be going on at throughout the City of Abilene as compiled by the Abilene Convention & Visitor's Bureau.
Remember that programming offered and sponsored by the Abilene Public Library are open to the public to attend for free and at no charge; however, the second half that will recap events going on throughout the City of Abilene may have admission fees, but I have tried to provide you with all of the necessary contact information for each of those programs in order for you to get more information.
