Are you in an up and coming band and are you looking for a place to perform?  Are you a solo act? Are you a musician? A singer? Library Unplugged wants to hear from you.

Library Unplugged is an upcoming series of lunch-time performances in the School Library / Learning Commons.  We want to feature the musical talent of our students in a small, intimate setting.  We have a new stage and sound system and want to help you show off your talent!
