Free Friday concerts will keep your lunch hour humming

Concerts will be held at the main branch of the Dayton Metro Library

The Dayton Metro Library will begin a series of free Friday lunch concerts at the main branch of the Dayton Metro Library in downtown Dayton next week.

“For those who work downtown, a casual concert can be a great mid-day escape,” said Julie Buchanan, library programming manager. “Folks can bring their lunch and a friend, grab a seat, and enjoy some great music before returning to work.”

Bluegrass, salsa and funk are among the musical styles that can be heard in the library’s Eichelberger Forum from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
