20 Mar '23

Hello everyone, I wish to recommend to you, Hannah O'Brian and Grant Flick, both very talented instrumentalists. Their performance at Farmington Community Library yesterday drew about 123 participants. The duet performed several Irish Traditionals, by combining the fiddle with guitar. Their last compositions included their own and Grant performed on the nyckelharpa. (A Swedish string instrument). The performance received standing ovations by everyone who attended the event. To reach them, you can contact either Hannah at hannahobrien101(a)icloud.com or Grant at gflick100(a)gmail.com.

PGCMLS serves approximately 905,000 residents from 19 branch locations with a $36 million budget and 306 FTE, roughly 85% of whom are members of UFCW Local 1994 MCGEO. Approximately 72% of its budget comes from the county and 23% from the Maryland State government. In FY 2022, PGCMLS had 583,480 active borrowers, 55,966 people attending 2,296 free programs, and circulated 3.4 million items, ranking it among the highest circulating libraries in Maryland. Since 2020, the PGCMLS Foundation has also raised over $2 million to strengthen the role the library plays in the communities it serves, including support for the creation of five resource labs focused on creative design, media production, entrepreneurship, workforce development, and social justice education. PGCMLS is committed to innovation, and it received the Urban Libraries Council's 2021 Top Innovator Award for its workforce and community development initiatives. The library has fostered a collaborative culture, both internally and with other community stakeholders, and it enjoys strong support and goodwill from its patrons.
