Newark Free Library knows that it's an annual tradition for many of our patrons to attend the First State Ringers holiday concert at the library.  This year, First State Ringers have asked us to share this information: 


We are very excited to announce we will be recording a Christmas concert this season!  We will be recording at Westminster Presbyterian Church in their beautiful sanctuary.   

The link to the recording will be posted on the First State Ringers Facebook page on Sunday, December 13, at 3:00 pm:  https://www.facebook.com/firststateringers
