The Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave., will host a Sweet 16 party in honor of its current location from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 28.

Visitors can enjoy refreshments, library trivia, a DVD showing of the building's gala dedication in 2002, "Fiesta," - a musical performance by Jan and Gino of the Soundz of Time at 2 p.m. - and a pictorial display of library highlights from the past 16 years.

Registration is required for the "Fiesta" program; register online at BataviaPublicLibrary.org or by calling the reference desk, (630) 879-1393, ext. 200.

Also during the celebration, children can enjoy a craft and receive free washable birthday tattoos. Because the building is turning 16, anyone who is 16 years old on Jan. 28 can enter a free drawing for a Chipotle gift card. Teens can enter by bringing proof of age, i.e. a driver's license or library card, to the library reference desk now through 3:45 p.m. Jan. 28. The drawing will take place at 4 p.m. Jan. 28.

The current library building was dedicated Jan. 27, 2002, amid much fanfare. More than 6,000 people attended the dedication. The library opened for business the following day.

For more information about the Sweet 16 celebration, call the library reference desk or visit BataviaPublicLibrary.org.
