This week we headed out the Westgate Branch Ann Arbor Library to see my friends at the Black and Brown Theatre perform Cloud Spinners. The innovate performance highlights ways we can protect our environment. Naturally, all three of my girls absolutely loved this short fairytale play.
The Westgate Branch Ann Arbor Library is located in the Westgate Shopping Center. The address of this library is 2503 Jackson Avenue in Ann Arbor. The brach recently reopened in September of 2016, after a renovation that nearly quadrupled their space. And therefore, afforded the library with an additional parking lot and two new entrances.
Library Service Hours at Westgate are:
Monday: 10 AM to 9 PM
Tuesday – Friday: 9 AM to 9 PM
Saturday & Sunday: 9 AM to 8 PM
