JFK Museum opens after hours for special “Late Nights at the Library”
This summer, JFK Library is opening after hours for the first time ever to host four “Late Nights at the Library”.
The free events include admission into the Museum from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., in addition to special activities. There will also be food and drink for purchase, and the Museum Store will be open.
“I am thrilled to invite our neighbors, friends, and visitors from near and far to check out the Library at night for the first time,” said Library Director Alan Price. “Through these special evening programs, we are hoping people can enjoy the Library at night as much as people enjoy it during the day.”
Attendees of the “Late Nights” will also be able to see the Library’s new special exhibit, Service and Sacrifice: World War II - A Shared Experience, which opens in July.
Here is the official “Late Nights at the Library” schedule:
