The Burlington County Library System has announced their fall schedule.
The Burlington County Library System is pleased to announce the 2018 fall schedule for “Sundays on Stage,” a series of one-hour, culturally diverse afternoon performances presented live in the Burlington County Library Auditorium in Westampton.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Burlington County Library, Inc., all shows begin at 2 p.m. and admission is free.
Held each year in the spring and again in the fall, the library’s Sundays on Stage performances bring an exciting mix of music, dance, culture and more to the residents of Burlington County.
