No tickets or registration required. This is a free event and open to the public. Seating is on a first come, first served basis and seating is limited. Once seating has been filled to capacity, the front doors will be closed.

Cameras are allowed at our events, however, if you have not been given permission by the Wilmington Library director to be a part of our media coverage, you must remain seated with your camera. Please do not stand on chairs in an attempt to take photos or record as this can be very dangerous and cause harm to yourself or someone else.

Please do not stand in the aisles, or in the back of the room in an attempt to record or take photos. This will not only obstruct the view of others but also causes a fire hazard and potentially blocks our cameras around the room that will be LIVE streaming this event. Standing in the aisles or around the room also hinders guests (especially those in wheelchairs) from coming in and out of the Commons to find a seat or to use the restroom. Please do not block these areas or entrances and exits.

Everyone must find a seat. Staff members and/or volunteers will help you find a seat if you cannot find one. Please be kind and courteous to one another as well as library staff who work hard to bring you these events.
