Help Central Library celebrate two things librarians love— the 100-year-old classic novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and.... CATS! Stop by the first floor from 1-4 pm and participate in a variety of crafts and activities for all ages. Dress up in roaring '20s gear, wear your favorite cat-themed clothing items, or put together a 'fit combining the two.
