Support Chicago Public Library with a donation!

Get ready to rewind! Slip into sequins and metallics as Harold Washington Library transforms into an ’80s inspired,
shimmer-filled dance studio to celebrate our 40th anniversary.

April 10, 2026, 7:00 – 11:00 PM
Harold Washington Library Center Winter Garden
(401 S. Plymouth Court, 9th Floor)
Dress Code: Sparkly Cocktail Attire

Enjoy an open bar, delicious bites, a DJ spinning today’s (and yesterday’s!) hits,
a photo booth, and more—all in support of Chicago Public Library.

This is a 21 and older event.
