2021 is finally here, and with it, some super virtual library events. If you're unfamiliar with our programs, know that you don't have to live in Anne Arundel County, Maryland to enjoy them. Although we watch our films on Kanopy, you're free to watch them wherever you can find them. (Sorry, if you don't live in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, I can't hook you up with Kanopy.) We've had participants from 26 states, Canada, and Europe, so please consider joining us. So let's take a look at what's coming up. (For more news, keep an eye on the Facebook page for the Anne Arundel County Public Library.)
