The Miami-Dade Public Library System will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2011, and will begin its year-long commemoration with a kick-off celebration on Thursday, January 20, at noon at the Main Library – 101 West Flagler Street .
The community is invited to come out and celebrate at a ‘70s Disco Dance Party! Wear your favorite outfit from the ‘70s; boogie down with the Super Soul Steppers; enjoy music from the past four decades and enter a dance contest. The celebration continues that evening at 6:30 p.m. with a Reception and Art Exhibition Opening, with music by the Greater Miami Youth Symphony, a talk with Miami historian Dr. Paul George and the opening of Assembling an Era – an art exhibit that commemorates the library’s history in the community.
Both events are free and open to the public.
