RACINE, Wis (CBS 58) -- Staff at the Racine Public Library are getting ready for a huge celebration! 

Julia Heiser, Marketing assistant with the library joined CBS 58 in studio to discuss all the upcoming events! 

On Saturday, July 16 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. the library is celebrating their history with the special 125th Anniversary Block Party! 

There will be live music, bounce houses, beer tent, food trucks, and carnival games. 

Heiser also discussed a new program regarding a native plant garden at the library. They hope to help pollinators with the additional plants there. It's part of the Root-Pike River Watershed Initiative, Pollinator Patch. 

There are also now new lunch options outside the library. They hope people in the community can get a better sense of the community and supporting local businesses. They're calling this effort "Lunch Break at the Library".
