:jack_o_lantern: October Events at Napa Library!

We don't get to celebrate a centennial every day, and that's just one of the reasons this year's celebration of Calistoga Library's 100th anniversary is extra special! We're pulling out all the stops on October 19. We hope you will join us.

We'll have games, crafts, food, and entertainment--and we will be assembling our time capsule for future Calistogans and library patrons.
