Mt Carroll Public Library (Salon-style Show)

What's a "Salon?" In the tradition of the French literary movement of the 17th & 18th Century, it's an intimate  gathering of interesting people (YOU), held by a host (Friends of the Mount Carroll Library) for enlightenment, conversation and pleasure. These often included musical performances (US) and an exchange of ideas, so you're invited to ask questions during the performance and we'll fill you in on our arrangement methods and more. It's free but space is limited. Contact the library for more info.
