Love Your Library – Main St. Dueling Pianos
Thursday, February 5 @ 7:00 PM
FEBRUARY IS LOVE YOUR LIBRARY MONTH
Join us in celebrating Otsego District Library during the month of February at these special events!
The Library will kick off this special month with something that the Otsego Patrons love – MUSIC! Join Joe Laureano and a dueling piano performer for a high-energy, interactive show that spans multiple decades and genres. The audience drives the show by requesting songs, and the performers’ job is to “facilitate the fun” by playing those requests. The audience will also be able to enjoy a sweet & salty snack!
