MILTON, GA -- That nonprofit organization designed to support Milton's library will host a party next month celebrating the building's first year of serving the community.

Friends of the Milton Library will host a fundraising BBQ & Bluegrass Birthday Bash from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 16.

Admission to the event is free, and will be held under the oak tree at the Milton Library, which is located at 855 Mayfield Road.

Barbecue plates will be sold by the Friends of the Milton Library at $15 per plate, which includes beverage and dessert. Discounted pre-sale plate tickets are available at FOML book sales for $10 per plate. BBQ will be provided by Cue Barbecue.

Proceeds raised during the BBQ will support Milton library programs, which are funded by the Friends of the Milton Library.

“This past year has been a tremendous year for the FOML," said Co-President Kim Gauger. "With the generous support of the community we were able to preserve the Dinsmore Barn, creating a permanent space to hold the book sales which allow us to support so many wonderful library events, like this year’s Summer Reading program. We want to show our appreciation for the support of the community by hosting this Birthday Bash to celebrate the accomplishments of the Milton library in its first year.”

Friends of the Milton Library host book sales every second Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
