Many people stick to the basics when thinking about their library: a place for books, research, and quiet. Libraries offer so much more than that! Most libraries in Anne Arundel, Queen Anne’s, Caroline, Talbot, Kent, and Prince George’s County offer weekly play time for babies, story time for toddlers, or game nights for teens, but they have educational and fun events for adults as well! From Zumba in the new year at Russett Library to movie night at the Chestertown Library. Below is your guide to can’t miss library events for adults in January!
