Enriching Multi- Cultural Programs At The Library


The Library has welcomed a variety of enriching multicultural programs in recent years, including the 2014 Changing America series with scholars and the Brown sisters of Brown v. Board of Education, and the recent Latino Americans series.
In February we again invite the public to learn more about the culture and contributions of African-Americans throughout history. Here’s a sample of upcoming programs and exhibits.
