Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

FYI, I noticed that sometimes people forget to scan their card at the door. If people walk through the front door in a group, only one person scans their key card and the door opens so the rest of the group just walks in. If the members are on silver sneakers, the keycard scan is how the athletic club gets paid. I happened to think of this one time when I walked in with a group and only the first person scanned their card. I scanned it on the way out instead. Just a heads up. Anyways, still a great place to swim.
We found this to be a charming find to see a Brian Regan concert. It's not like going to a large venue. It's like going back in time to a different era. The place is small, authentic, mostly original but the view and sound were great. It felt more intimate. We're not a fan of the tightly spaced seats and it's impossible to get up once the show starts. But we came to see the show, so we didn't mind.
I am one of those people that believes a library is an essential asset to a community. Carnegie Library is an AMAZING place to be. The staff is knowledgeable, kind and wonderful. They aren't they because the hate books...they are there because they LOVE it and they enjoy helping people find an old classic, new classic or just turn you on to reading. You can rent/borrow movies with your FREE membership in addition to any book you can think of. Summer programs are great for the neighborhood kids and a lifeline for many.
We saw Toad the Wet Sprocket and Vertical Horizon together last night. This was one of the BEST concerts I have ever seen! Great music! Totally enjoyed the show!
What a very unique experience they have going on here. A very intimate theater inside of a library. I saw John Butler on 5/12/23 and let me just say this was the perfect setting for his incredible talent. The volunteers and staff were very friendly and welcoming. The venue is obviously very old but that is part of the magic. Pay $2 for a little souvenir cup and you can take your beer into the theater. I’m told you can bring the cup back in future visits so keep the lid and straw. The seats are wooden. It wasn’t unbearable but you are allowed to bring a chair pad with you which is nice they allow that. Parking was in the street. I didn’t put money in any meter- honestly I don’t remember if there was one but I arrived about :30 minutes before doors and there were plenty of spots available. There’s a little park right across the street, you can sit in a bench and wait, maybe bring dinner and have a picnic. I traveled about 3ish hours to visit and I absolutely would do it again.
