On July 4, 2026, our nation will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond. Come to the library for a screening of Hamilton, the groundbreaking musical that brings the founding era to life through the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of America’s most influential and complicated Founding Fathers. As the nation marks 250 years of independence, this filmed Broadway production offers a powerful reminder that the American experiment has always been a work in progress, shaped by bold ideas, flawed people, and ongoing debates about freedom, power, and who gets a seat at the table.
