Liberty and Libraries: The Role Libraries Play in Enhancing Equality and Individual Rights: Author Talk and Preview of Library Redesign Plans

Join FCPL librarians Chris Barbuschak and Suzanne LaPierre as they profile their new book Desegregation in Northern Virginia Libraries. The duo will speak about the major civil rights activists who successfully desegregated local public libraries during the Jim Crow era. The talk will highlight parts of the story that include the Vienna community and the establishment of Patrick Henry Library. Copies of the book will be available for sale. 

Library Director Jessica Hudson and a representative from the county's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Team will share design plans for Patrick Henry Library.

 

This event will take place at the Vienna Community Center, 120 Cherry St SE, Vienna, VA 22180.
