Hotdog Days of Summer

Libraries usually wear a cloak of quiet contemplation. Perhaps there’s some rambunctiousness at story hour toddlers are not known for their decorum but in general they are studious places meant for finding and reading that particular book.

But this Monday, Sept. 6, the Edgartown Library is putting away the shusher and road tripping it out to Katama Airport for a rocking evening of hotdogs, music, climbing walls and airplane acrobatics.

Billed as Frankly We Love Our Library, this benefit event for the library runs from 4 to 7 p.m. and features the Flying Elbows Fiddle Band, make your own ice cream sundaes from the Right Fork Diner, a flight simulator and glider crafts. There will be plenty of food too, including hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans; the works.

Tickets are $15 for adults; $5 for children under 10, and available at the Edgartown Library, Edgartown Town Hall, Edgartown National Bank and the Right Fork Diner.

The rain date is Tuesday, Sept. 7.
