Take your lunch break with a good book!
Listen to an audiobook while walking the Downtown Skywalk. Pick your own book or listen to a specially curated title from our library staff. We will meet in the skywalk above US Bank and walk to the library. You will need your own device for your audiobook. When we reach the library, join us for discussion and snacks or feel free to leave from there.
