Celebrate Diwali With Music and Dance at Springdale Public Library

Diwali goes by the nickname Festival of Lights, and you get a chance to see where that name comes from.

A single lamp can change how a room feels. It softens the corners and draws people closer, and a holiday named for light has a way of doing the same thing for the people gathered around it.
