Enoch Pratt Free Library

Saint Patrick's Day in Federal Hill is a bustling place, full of revelry.  Wanting to be part of the fun, but still serious about their library duties, the staff at the branch found a way to bring a little bit of Ireland into the library.  A golden opportunity presented itself when the manager chanced to meet a parade, led by a bagpiper, on Light Street at noon.  The piper had to be convinced that it was all right, but he soon made a detour with his entourage into the branch to perform a couple of tunes as only a piper can do.  It was a great break for everyone as the unmistakable music filled the library. Toasting us as they left, the merry band trouped down the street, but they left behind a library filled with smiling Irish cheer! 

Light Street LIVE!

Light Street Branch continues in its monthly offering of FREE musical entertainment.  Join us for an evening of song as lyrical soprano Ruth Hulett performs a fascinating program of songs by Amercian women composers.

Learn about these remarkable women in celebration of Women's History Month. From "I Love You Truly" to "Give Me One Reason to Stay Here," Ms. Hulett brings women's music to life.
