Open House to Feature George Walker


This season we have a special holiday event planned for all of our wonderful customers and friends. On December 23, from 4:30 to 6 p.m., Omaha's own George Walker, jazz musician, will be featured at our annual Holiday Open House at Omaha Public Library's Florence Branch. He will entertain us with his own jazz arrangements of standard holiday music as well as some traditional holiday tunes. George has worked and recorded with Lou Rawls, Bill Cosby, Barry White, Paul Humphrey and many more.

Our Holiday Open House is our way of saying thank you and spreading a little holiday cheer. When the threat of Florence Branch closing seemed immenent, so very many of you rallied to keep the library open. You voiced your objections and raised more than $35,000! Your efforts paid off and your library will remain open. We hope you'll make a note to stop by for some great holiday music and refreshments.
