Ditch the forced romance for an after-hours party at the library.

Celebrate friendship and self-love at this less-than-romantic watch party and cookie-decorating event. Laugh along with Easy A (PG-13), eat snacks, and decorate sugar cookies—heartfelt messages not required.

This program is generously supported in part by the Friends of Forks Library.
