There will be a program leading up to, during, and after the contact.
We suggest arriving to the Library no later than 8am in order to get a good seat, because they’ll go fast!
TADL will be streaming the event on their YouTube Channel and it will also be on local Charter/Spectrum channel 189. More information about media coverage will be relayed later.
