The Library is getting into the medieval spirit as we anticipate the 26th annual Hoggetowne Medieval Faire. From January 10 through January 25 in the Youth Services Department of the Downtown Library you can see the amazing medieval creations of local school children. Many students participate in the Medieval Faire art contest and the winners are on display at the library and will be at the Faire.
On January 21, at 2:00 PM, the amazing Madame Psyche will tell what's in the cards for you with free tarot card readings in the storyhour room of the downtown Headquarters Library. Madame Psyche has been reading tarot cards for many years at the Faire.
The Faire will take place on two weekends: January 28 & 29 and February February 3 through 5 from 10 AM to 6 PM at the Alachua County Fairgrounds. On Friday, February 3, admission is half price. The Hoggetowne Medieval Faire has much entertainment to offer to all ages from jugglers to jesters to jousting. Come enjoy the fun!
