If you have not been to a library in the last decade, then you have missed how libraries all over the world are shifting our views of what a library can be in a very digital world.
And who would have guessed back then that the place known for “shhhh” noises is becoming so much more lively. (It is a good thing.)
The Kent District Library invites locals to join them on a journey beyond books and the walls of their institution to very special
SuperPartyWonderDay.
This special event features so much of what we love about our region as good beer, tasty BBQ, local bands, and bikes are featured prominently in this great outdoors summer activity for the whole family.
This event also enables KDL to help Kent County show off its newest outdoor music venue, the Meadows at Millennium Park (across Maynard from the Beach area).
The day’s activities include bands Jesse Ray and the Carolina Catfish, Conrad Shock + the Noise, and Brother Adams with a menu of delicious goodies from food trucks A Moveable Feast, Patty Matters, and Moochies Dream Cream.
The event also features a diverse array of unique beer, wine, and cider selections from Railtown Brewing Company, Cedar Springs Brewing Company, Gravel Bottom Craft Brewery & Supply, Kayla Rae Cellars, and Cascade Cellars Winery. Having these options for beverages would be awesome after wrapping up a bike ride in the park hosted by Greater Grand Rapids Bicycle Coalition and BikeKDL.
In addition, you can help influence the judges attending the rib cook-off by voting for the People’s Choice Award sponsored by The Grilling Company.
If you want to really enjoy the acts and are not comfortable sitting bare-legged on the ground during the concert, please bring your own lawn chairs and blankets.
Everyone is welcome….even your friendly, furry “kids.”
