Starr Library will be closed on Monday, January 20th.

In observance of the holiday, the Rhinebeck community is invited to attend a free, spoken-word reading of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail (1963).

This secular act of remembrance begins at noon and takes place at Church of the Messiah. Jointly organized by Rev. Mary Gregorius, interim rector of the Episcopal Church of the Messiah, and author Fenton Johnson.

Readers are volunteers from the Rhinebeck area.
