Signature Event Landing

🪄✨ A Magical Evening at the Library ✨🪄

There isn’t another place on earth quite like the library. Edifices of wonder, information, exploration, and imagination; libraries transport those who enter their doors into new worlds, new ideas, and new thoughts. We invite you to experience that same library magic!

Please join us for an evening filled with entertainment, food, and wonder. This year’s fundraising event will be one for the books!

The Magic of CCPL

Our library touches lives in countless ways. Here’s what some of our patrons have to say:

“To the incredible librarian who matched me to my next book: You are a treasure, pure magic… #librariansaremagic.”

“As an immigrant, libraries did not exist back in my home country, Nigeria… I remember living in Hyattsville, discovering the library, walking about a mile every 3 weeks to borrow a bagful of books.”

“Dear Potomac Branch Team, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding services and welcoming environment you provide… The library has become more than just a place to work and do my research; it has become a place that encourages personal growth, community connection, and optimism for the future.”
