Love the Library: A Grand Opening Gala for Pinney Library is just a couple months away! Join us from 6–10 p.m. Saturday, February 29, for food stations featuring cuisine prepared by east side restaurants and caterers, along with beer and wine, multiple live music acts, library tours, a silent auction and more.

Tickets are available for purchase at mplfoundation.org. Cost is $175 each, or $500 for a two-ticket Community Sponsor package. If your business, organization or club is interested in supporting the gala and grand opening events, please visit our Pinney capital campaign page.

The interim Pinney location at 211 Cottage Grove Road will close on February 17. The new Pinney Library will open to the public on March 12 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m., followed by a Grand Opening Weekend on March 14–15. Visit the library and foundation websites for details in the coming months.
