Since July of 2022, AC Library and the Audacity Music Club have been organizing regular schedule community music concerts at Fremont Main Library / Newark Library / Union City Library on Saturdays between 2:30-3:30.  This concert series is a platform for Tri-city community members to come together and share music.  Local music enthusiasts now have 3 opportunities each month to sharpen their skills through performances, present their music instruments, and volunteer for the community at the same time.  Each performer will receive a certificate of recognition from the Library at the beginning of each school year for their volunteer service from the prior school year. Volunteer service hours will be awarded those who need them.
