After Hours Party
Moe's Cantina River North, 155 West Kinzie

EveryLibrary decided to not host a party at Midwinter 2015.  There are a lot of groups who have Saturday night events that we haven't been able to visit with in a few years.  So we're focused of getting out and meeting new people.  This after-hours is back to the way it used to go....
Saturday "not us" plug:  You should go to the FTRF 45th anniversary fundraiser event from 7-9p.  They do amazing work defending the First Amendment in Libraries.
